Abstract
The German occupation of a part of Slovenian territory in April 1941 meant a breaking point in the lives of many people. Among the victims there were also Slovene authors. First, the Nazis established migration headquarters in Maribor and subordinate agencies to organise deportations; later, they established assembly camps in different places in Lower Styria. In Maribor they reorganised a part of the barracks in Melje into a camp. They were brought to different locations in Serbia, some also in Croatia.Nemška okupacija dela slovenskega ozemlja v aprilu 1941 je za mnoge pomenila življenjsko prelomnico, kjer posebej mislimo na germanizatorični (nacistični) pritisk. Med žrtvami so bili tudi slovenski književniki. Za organizacijo izgona so nacisti najprej ustanovili preseljevalni štab v Mariboru in njemu podrejene organe, za tem pa uredili zbirna taborišča v različnih krajih Spodnje Štajerske. V Mariboru so v taborišče za izgnance preuredili del meljske vojašnice. Namenili so jih v različne kraje v Srbiji, nekatere tudi na Hrvaško
