Just inside the front door, near the stair landing is found this small memorial

The text reads:
"Potomcem Velikega
Casa V Opomin
Stepišnik Vladimir
Grosuplje 8 1 1943
Zupancic Benjamin
Dachau 29 5 1944
Cerne Ivan
Litomerice 26 3 1945

Umirali ste za zivljenje pravo
trpeli ste da bomo srecnimi
zdaj klanjamo se vsi pred
vaso slavo
ne umrje kar je potrdila kr"

Roughly translated
"Remembered for all time

list of names

You die for real life
suffering that we will be happy you
now worship all before
your glory
Sun dies as confirmed"

I spotted this while entering the bank. I originally thought it a WWII memorial, but research shows it a holocaust memorial. I encourage you to click through to the details for more information. It's all a very sad story.
