Description
Summary:The Second World War opened up the paths to the eliminationist plans of the Communist Party in its ambitions to take over power. The political underground consisted of a number of movements and individuals, all of whom collided on the question of the meaning and the form of resistance. Janko Komljanec was among the first politically staunchly aware priests in Lower Carniola designated by the Communist Party as a “national traitor” and thus someone who had to be effectively removed or eliminated before the actual outbreak of the civil war in the Ljubljana province. The process of annihilation simultaneously shows the mechanism of the originally local violence and its protagonists as well as an outline of the milieu that enabled (revolutionary) violence.
