Ivanka Škrabec Novak was a Slovenian teacher born in 1915 who was martyred in 1942. A devout Catholic, she lived in Sodražica, where she supported impoverished students and was active in her local parish. During the Second World War, her religious convictions and opposition to the Communist-led Liberation Front made her a target. While six months pregnant, she was arrested and eventually killed by partisans in a forest near Zamostec. She is currently recognized as a servant of God by the Catholic Church.
