The number around Bleiberg itself was around 55,000, but many people lump the massacres that happened in the immediate area as part of the Blieberg event (such as a similar massacre in Maribor). A few years ago the Slovenians unearthed more than 296 mass graves and the estimated number shot up substantially.
