Gehack
(bei Obergrass)

German: Gehack // Gottscheerish: Gəhack // Slovenian: Lazec

Although the settlement was not listed in the Gottschee land registry of 1574 or in the 1770 census, it was mentioned by Johann Weikhard von Valvasor in 1689. In 1869 the village had 15 houses and a population of 78, and in 1880 a population of 89. No Slovene residents were recorded in the village until 1890. In 1931 Gehack had a population of 112, equally divided between ethnic Slovenes and Germans. The Gottscheer residents were evicted in November 1941, after which the Slovene population allied itself with the Partisans. On 11 August 1942, Italian forces transported all of the remaining men of the village to a concentration camp at Treviso. After the armistice between Italy and Allied armed forces, two families moved to Gehack from Altwinkel and one from Neuwinkel.
