The Memorial to the Child Victims of War is a powerful bronze sculpture located at the Lidice Memorial in Lidice, Czech Republic. It commemorates the 82 children from the village of Lidice who were murdered by Nazi forces during World War II, while also serving as a universal tribute to all child victims of armed conflict. The tragedy occurred in June 1942, when Nazi forces destroyed Lidice in retaliation for the assassination of SS General Reinhard Heydrich. The village was burned, adult men were executed, and women were sent to concentration camps. Among the children, 82 were selected as “unsuitable for Germanization” and transported to the Chełmno extermination camp, where they were killed in mobile gas vans. The victims included 42 girls and 40 boys ranging in age from 1 to 16 years old. Only nine children from the village survived after being placed with German families. The memorial was created by Czech sculptor Marie Uchytilová, who began working on the project in 1969. Deeply affected by the tragedy, she dedicated over two decades of her life to the work, using surviving photographs to give each child statue a distinct and personal identity. Despite limited financial support, she funded early bronze casts herself. Uchytilová completed the plaster models in 1989 but passed away before the project was finished. Her husband, Jiří Václav Hampl, continued her work, and the first 30 statues were unveiled in 1995. The full installation, consisting of 82 life-sized bronze figures, was completed in 2000. Today, the statues stand on a hillside overlooking the former village site, expressing sorrow, innocence, and confusion. The memorial is located next to the Garden of Peace and Friendship, creating a reflective space dedicated to remembrance and reconciliation.

On this day in 1942, Warrant Officers Jozef Gabčík and Jan Kubiš ambushed
Reinhard Heydrich and attempted to assassinate him. He was wounded and would later die in hospital.
The reprisals were brutal and swift, and eventually led to the complete
destruction of the village of Lidice and Ležáky.
Goldberg mostra come questa visione - che cancella la distinzione tra civili e combattenti, attribuisce colpa collettiva a un intero popolo e considera la violenza contro i civili un mezzo necessario . sia strutturalmente simile alla dottrina di sicurezza nazista durante la II guerra mondiale.
Per sostenerlo, cita documenti storici: l’Ordine dei Commissari del 1941, in cui Hitler e Keitel autorizzarono l’uso illimitato della violenza contro civili sovietici; gli ordini che permettevano di colpire “senza restrizioni, anche donne e bambini”; la distruzione del villaggio di #Lidice come punizione collettiva; e le parole di comandanti come #OttoOhlendorf, che giustificavano l’uccisione di bambini in nome della “sicurezza permanente”. ⬇️4

Interesting. Never heard about this. It does refer to resistance assassinated "protector" #Heydrich in #OperationAnthropoid. The price was high however. Two complete villages with all people were massacred, including women and kids. Have memorial at #Lidice and #Ležáky. But why not, U.S. are becoming oppressors fast. Why not to adopt their dictionary too?https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Lidice-pamatnik_detem.jpg
Nemohl jsem dojet do Lidic, tak jsem četl doma...
