SLO:
Med Škofjo Loko, Kranjem in Medvodami, med Soro, Savo in železico, tam se nahaja Sorško polje, polno drobnih kotičkov, katere ne opazimo, ali pa gremo mimo njih.
Rahlo skrit v gozdu, opazen iz ceste, je spomenik partizanu Franku Ivanu.
7.5.1943 je namreč ta noč bila usodna za ubogega mladega Ivana. Člani okrajnega odbora OF Škofja Loka so se z dela na terenu vračali šele proti jutru, zato so se odločili, da bodo prespali v bližnjem Godeškem gozdu. Zaradi utrujenosti so zaspali brez straže, kar se ni dobro končalo. Nemci so prišli v gozd na vojaške vaje in presenetili speče partizane. V boju je Ivan Franko padel, Karla Kebra, Metoda Černetiča in Edija Longa pa so ujeli, odpeljali v begunjske zapore in jih 26. junija 1943 ustrelili med desetimi talci v Soteski v Bohinju. Edini, ki je po neki sreči ušel, je bil Franc Luskovec.
Je prav, da se vsaj spomnimo malo teh imen. Vsaj malo. In kdo je bil Frank Ivan?
Ivan Franko, rojen 26. aprila 1921 v Ljubljani, delavec, v partizane je vstopil 20. decembra 1941, kasneje je bil dodeljen kot politični delavec na teren in bil sekretar odbora OF za okraj Škofja Loka.
ENG:
Between Škofja Loka, Kranj and Medvode, between Sora, Sava and the railway, there is the Sorško polje, full of tiny interesting corners that we don't notice or pass them by.
Slightly hidden in the forest, visible from the road, stands the monument to partisan Frank Ivan.
May 7, 1943, that night was fatal for poor young Ivan. The members of the OF (liberation fornt) Škofja Loka district committee returned from work on the field at the morning, so they decided to spend the night in the nearby Godešič forest. Due to their tirednes, they fell asleep without guard, which did not end well. The Germans came to the forest for military exercises and surprised the sleeping partisans. Ivan Franko died in battle, while Karlo Kebra, Metod Černetič and Edi Longo were captured, taken to refugee prisons and shot on June 26, 1943 among ten hostages in Soteska in Bohinj. The only one, who luckily escaped, was Franc Luskovec.
It is good to at least remember a little of these names. At least a little. And who was Frank Ivan?
Ivan Franko, born on April 26, 1921 in Ljubljana, a worker, joined the partisans on December 20, 1941, was later assigned as a political worker to the field and was the secretary of the OF committee for the Škofja Loka district.
