Abstract
At the beginning of June 1945, the Court of the Slovenian National Honour was established. Until the end of August 1945, it put to trial those who collaborated with the occupiers and “domestic traitors” in any way during the Second World War and thus tainted Slovenian national honour. It gave sentences including loss of national honour, light or heavy forced labour, and complete or partial confiscation of property for the benefit of the state. The process of establishing the court was supported by extensive propaganda. Newspapers wrote about national honour, national treason, and what kind of a sentence the guilty deserve. Articles on the responsibility of individuals were published and people were being urged to help uncover “national traitors” and “criminals”. During the time that the court operated, the newspapers mostly published the names of the convicted, the descriptions of the (alleged) crimes, and the sentences by the Court of the Slovenian National Honour.
