The Black Hand (Slovene: Črna roka) was a terrorist group active in the Slovene Lands during World War II. It conducted assassinations of members of the Liberation Front of the Slovene Nation and Slovene Partisans. The organization's main goal was the elimination of "communism and its proponents". It is often regarded as associated with the Catholic Church and Slovene Home Guard.
