Angela Brecelj

Angela Brecelj (7 October 1916 – 12 July 1944) was a Slovenian shop assistant. She was a devout Catholic who was abducted and later killed by communists during World War II. Her mother was the shopkeeper Emilija Brecelj (1887–1960), and her father was the master carpenter Jože Brecelj (1885–1944), a brother of the physician and politician Anton Brecelj. (Despite the same surname, it appears her parents were not related.)

She was the second child, with an elder sister Marica Brecelj (1914–1944), a shop assistant and martyr. They said she was first beaten, thrown alive into a pit, and then shot.
