History

Before the Second World War, Bakrc had a population of 40 people living in eight houses.[2] During the war, a group of 22 Partisans attacked the village in early 1943 but were routed by anti-communist militia.[5] The village was burned on 16 March 1943. According to some sources, the Partisan Tone Tomšič Brigade burned the village.[6] Other sources state that Italian forces burned the village.[7]
