About

Sušak (pronounced [suˈʃaːk]; Italian: Sussa) is a small village in the Municipality of Ilirska Bistrica in the Inner Carniola region of Slovenia, close to the border with Croatia.

Sušak is the site of a mass grave from the end of the Second World War. The Hunting Lodge Mass Grave ( Slovene : Grobišče pri lovskem domu ) lies about 600 meters (2,000 ft) east of the center of Sušak and about 30 meters (98 ft) from a hunting lodge. It contains the remains of German soldiers from the 97th Corps that were killed at the beginning of May 1945.

The local church in the settlement is dedicated to John the Baptist and belongs to the Parish of Jelšane.
