Kočevje Regional Museum
Kočevje Regional Museum presents several collections, including Drawings by Painter Božidar Jakac - among them 34 drawings made during the session of the Assembly in 1943; and the Lost Cultural Heritage of the Kočevje Germans - presenting the Kočevje region, which after over 600 years was suddenly abandoned by its majority (German) population in the winter of 1941-1942 when this region was not incorporated in the German occupation zone, but occupied by Italians. The leaders of the Kočevje Germans agreed with the German government to move the entire population to the Reich. The resettlement, the ravages of the war, the post-war collapse and systematic destruction had far-reaching consequences for the once-developed cultural landscape.
