Mass grave
Mala Vas is the site of a mass grave from the period immediately after the Second World War. The Mala Vas Mass Grave (Slovene: Grobišče Mala vas) is located in a sinkhole in the woods west of the village, marked by a wooden cross. It contains the remains of eight civilians from the village of Podgora murdered on the night of 16 June 1945.[3][4]
