Fabci (pronounced [ˈfaːptsi]) is a small settlement in the hills southeast of Ilirska Bistrica in the Inner Carniola region of Slovenia, close to the border with Croatia.[2]

Unmarked graves

Fabci is the site of two unmarked graves from the end of the Second World War. The Church Grave (Slovene: Grob pri cerkvi) is located behind the church. It contains the remains of a Croatian farmhand from Grobnik named Matija, who was shot by German troops while fleeing.[3] The Hbt Grave (Grob Hbt) is located about 300 m southeast of the church. It contains the remains of a German soldier from the 97th Corps that was killed at the beginning of May 1945.[4]
