On July 19, 1942, partisans went to the Roma settlement in Kanižarica near Črnomelj all kidnapped all Roma, from children to old people, and burned their homes. 62 Roma, perhaps more, were driven to the deserted nomadic village of Mavrlen on the slopes of Kočevski Rog. There, in the following days, they were all systematically murdered, probably cruelly, with cold steel.
