‘bottom ten percent of the bottle’: Pulls up photos of the Barbara pit
Interesting, so based my on my brief reading am I understanding this correctly, that the Barbara Pit is a mass grave of Slovene and Yugoslav Fascists and Nazi collaborators?
Yes.
Same. Politics isn’t my whole identity and I like to take a break from it sometimes.
