Memorial to the Children Victims of the War, Lidice : ウィキペディア英語版 | Memorial to the Children Victims of the War, Lidice
The Memorial to the Children Victims of the War, Lidice is a bronze sculpture by Marie Uchytilova in Lidice, Czech Republic. It commemorates a group of 82 children of Lidice who were gassed at Chełmno in the summer of 1942 during the Second World War.〔 Work began on the memorial in 1980, but it was not until 2000, ten years after Uchytilova's death that it was completed by her husband. The "Garden of Peace and Friendship" adjoins the memorial. ==Background== On 10 June 1942 the Nazis killed all 173 adult men and 52 women in Lidice as a reprisal for the assassination of Reich Protector Reinhard Heydrich. The village was razed, seventeen children who were considered suitable to be "Germanized" were removed, and the remaining women and children, separated, were sent to concentration camps. The children were gassed that summer in mobile vans at Chełmno. Following the war, a cross was erected at Lidice in remembrance of the murdered children, but little else occurred for the next two decades.
