Mali Kamen (pronounced [ˈmaːli ˈkaːmən]) is a settlement northeast of Senovo in the Municipality of Krško in eastern Slovenia. The area was traditionally part of Styria. It is now included with the rest of the municipality in the Lower Sava Statistical Region.[2]
Mass grave
Mali Kamen is the site of a mass grave from the end of the Second World War. The Veliki Kamen Mass Grave (Slovene: Grobišče Veliki Kamen), also known as the Marsh Mass Grave (Grobišče Čreta), is located on the eastern edge of the settlement, 400 m south of neighboring Veliki Kamen. The grave contains the remains of 20 to 30 Ustaša soldiers killed in mid-May 1945.[3]
