Who was Cene Štupar?
Cene (Vinko) Štupar-Matevž,
Slovenian communist, journalist, and partisan, born October 6, 1911, in Gmajna (Črnuče), Slovenia; died November 15, 1944, in Trzin, Slovenia.
Vinko Štupar, also known as Cene, had been a member of the Communist Party of Yugoslavia since 1936 and a member of the Ježica District Committee of the Communist Party of Slovenia since 1937. After completing his military service, he found employment at the Eifler textile factory in Bežigrad, where he soon became a union leader. He was also the editor-in-chief of the union newsletter *Glas delavca*.
On June 23, 1941, he went into the woods with like-minded people, and in July of that same year, he became a fighter and political worker in the Rašiška Detachment. He also took charge of the partisan press, which was among the first in occupied Slovenia. After the war, a monument was erected at the site where he fell, and a commemorative plaque at his birthplace in Gmajna, Črnuče, also honors his memory. Cena Štupar Street in Črnuče and the Cene Štupar Public Institution—Ljubljana Education Center—are named after him.
