Raduše is the site of a mass grave from the period immediately after the Second World War. The Žančani Mass Grave (Slovene: Grobišče Žančani) is located in the woods north of the settlement. It measures 90 meters (300 ft) long by 6 to 8 meters (20 to 26 ft) wide and contains the remains of Croatian soldiers, and Slovene and German civilians murdered around 20 May 1945.[3]
