Mala Vas (pronounced as /sl/; sl|Mala vas) is a village in the Municipality of Dobrepolje in Slovenia. It lies just east of Videm and its territory extends eastwards to the peak of Mala Vas Hill (Slovenian: Malovaški hrib, 596 m). The area is part of the historical region of Lower Carniola. The municipality is now included in the Central Slovenia Statistical Region.[2]
Mala Vas is the site of a mass grave from the period immediately after the Second World War. The Mala Vas Mass Grave (sl|Grobišče Mala vas) is located in a sinkhole in the woods west of the village, marked by a wooden cross. It contains the remains of eight civilians from the village of Podgora murdered on the night of 16 June 1945.[3]
