Štangelj, Blaž (author), Ferenc, Mitja (mentor)

Magistrsko delo opisuje delovanje bolnice Ajdovec in njenega kirurga dr. Lindsay Rogersa. Temelji predvsem na neobjavljenih arhivskih virih, ki se dopolnjujejo s spominskimi viri. Bolnica Ajdovec je bila ena od skritih postojank Slovenske centralne vojno partizanske bolnice (SCVPB), ki je delovala v Kočevskem rogu. Bolnico je vodil zavezniški kirurg dr. Lindsay Rogers z Nove Zelandije. Deloval je tudi v nekaterih ostalih partizanskih bolnicah v Kočevskem rogu, kjer je predvsem opravljal kirurško službo. Bolnica Ajdovec je imela več lesenih objektov in je delovala med avgustom 1944 in začetkom marca 1945. V njej se je zdravilo okoli 171 pacientov, od teh jih je 13 umrlo. Pokopani so bili na pokopališču bolnice. Po koncu druge svetovne vojne je bilo v njihov spomin postavljeno spominsko obeležje na Pogorelcu. Bolnica je imela tudi skrito dislocirano enoto, imenovano bolnica Mali Ajdovec. Ta je imela več objektov, namenjena je bila za težje ranjence. Objekti obeh bolnic se niso ohranili, znani pa sta njuni lokaciji, na katerih so še vidni skromni ostanki.

Abstract

The Master thesis describes the Ajdovec hospital and it`s surgeon dr. Lindsay Rogers. It is based mainly on unpublished archival sources, which are supplemented with memorial sources. The Ajdovec hospital was one of the hidden outposts of the Slovenian Central Military Partisan Hospital (SCVPB) operating in Kočevski Rog. The outpost was led by allied surgeon doctor Lindsay Rogers from New Zeland. He also worked in some other partisan hospitals in Kočevski Rog, where he mainly performed surgeries. The Ajdovec hospital consisted of a few wooden huts and it was operating between August 1944 and the beginning of March 1945. The hospital treated around 171 pacients, 13 of whom died. They were burried at the hospital`s cemetery nearby. After World War II, a memorial was erected in their memory at Pogorelec. The Ajdovec hospital also had a hidden dislocated unit named Mali Ajdovec with a few objects; it was intended for severely wounded persons. The facilities of both hospitals have not been preserved, but their original locations are known and some modest remains are still visible there.
