75 LET PARTIZANSKE BOLNICE FRANJA

Partizanska bolnica Franja je simbol mednarodnega povezovanja in odpora proti fašizmu in nacizmu v času druge svetovne vojne. Predstavlja simbol slovenskega partizanskega zdravstva in priča o neverjetni humanosti in požrtvovalnosti zdravstvenega in drugega osebja v skrbi za ranjence.

Kompleks Partizanske bolnice Franje sestavlja 14 lesenih barak in več pomožnih objektov. V ozki, težko dostopni soteski Pasice v Dolenjih Novakih pri Cerknem so jih gradili postopoma od decembra 1943 do maja 1945. Ime je dobila po partizanski zdravnici dr. Franji Bojc Bidovec, ki je kmalu po ustanovitvi prevzela mesto upravnice v bolnici.

 Bila je med najbolje opremljenimi skrivnimi partizanskimi bolnicami z operacijsko sobo, rentgenom, invalidskim domom in celo z električno centralo. Sprejela je lahko okoli 100 ranjencev, skupno pa se je v njej zdravilo 578, predvsem težjih ranjencev. Pod upravo “Franje” je spadalo tudi več dislociranih oddelkov za lažje ranjence. V vseh oddelkih se je zdravilo okoli 900 ranjencev raznih narodnosti.

Spomenik je bil po povodnji, ki ga je uničila septembra 2007, v celoti rekonstruiran in je od maja 2010 ponovno na ogled obiskovalcem. Kljub izgubi avtentične materialne dediščine ostaja simbol mednarodnega povezovanja in odpora, predvsem pa dragocen pomnik humanosti, plemenitosti in tovarištva.

75 YEARS OF PARTISAN HOSPITAL FRANJA

Franja Partisan Hospital is a symbol of international alliance and resistance against Fascism and Nazism in the time of WWII. It is a symbol of partisan medical activities and speaks to the incredible self-sacrifice and humanity of the medical staff and other staff in their care for the wounded.

The complex of the Franja Partisan Hospital consists of 14 wooden cabins and several auxiliary facilities. These were built gradually from December 1943 to May 1945 in the narrow and not easily accessible Pasice gorge in the Dolenji Novaki village near Cerkno. The hospital was named after the partisan physician Dr. Franja Bojc Bidovec, who took over the position of administrator in the hospital soon after its foundation.

This was one of the best-equipped secret partisan hospitals with a surgery cabin, an X-ray cabin, a handicapped care facility, and even a small power plant. It could take in about 100 wounded people. The total number of the patients, among which most were heavily wounded, was 578. There were also several separate units for the not severely wounded persons under “Franja’s” administration. The total number of patients in all the units was about 900 patients of various nationalities.

The monument was completely reconstructed after the flood that destroyed it in September 2007, and has been open again for visitors since May 2010. Despite the loss of authentic tangible heritage, it remains a symbol of international alliance and resistance, and above all a precious reminder of humanity, nobleness, and camaraderie.
