Conflict regarding renaming of a school in Griže in 1969

Abstract

In the summer 1969, the Slovene satiric newspaper Pavliha published an anonymous poem »Od Griž pa do
Žalca«. Author of the poem was poet Meta Rainer, a 65-year old retired teacher who, because of the poem, fought a
legal battle with the Union of the Associations of Fighters of the National Liberation Movement of Slovenia of the
Community Žalec and won. This paper presents a story of sociocritical poet of the socialist era and renaming of educational
establishments after war heroes and removal of their names – i.e., the story of a battle waging between the
camps of two fallen female partisans Nada Cilenšek on one side and Ivanka Uranjek on the other.
