A public proclamation about a shooting and a farewell letter
In the monument there are graphical copies of public proclamations about the shootings of hostages and rebels, who during World War II were condemned to death (667 killed), as well as, a farewell letter by Jože Fluks, a man who was condemned to death.
Kodžak?
The monument is otherwise better known by the name of ''Kodžak'' to the Maribor people, since the image reminds us about the bald-headed detective Kojak.
