2. Lidice Memorial

   The Nazi occupation of Czechoslovakia had tragic consequences for the village of Lidice, where the Nazis wrongly believed partisans associated with the resistance were hiding. The tragedy of this little village and its 503 inhabitants began on June 10, 1942, a few hours after midnight. Lidice was destroyed on orders from Adolf Hitler and Heinrich Himmler, in reprisal for the assassination of Reich Protector Reinhard Heydrich in May of 1942. The destruction of the village is recorded in a documentary, filmed by those who actually carried out that brutal crime. Parts of the film are shown on a video recording at the Lidice Museum. 82 bronze statues of children who were murdered at Chełmno during the summer of 1942, overlook the site of the old village of Lidice. The memorial area is linked to the new village by an avenue of linden trees. In 1955 a rosarium of 29,000 rose bushes was created beside the avenue of lindens.
