ON JUNE 10, 1942 nazi police units murdered 173 adult men and 52 women in the hamlet of Lidice.
It was a barbaric reprisal for the execution by British-trained Czech commandos of Reinhard Heydrich, SS supremo for the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia.
The choice of victims wasn’t random. The Gestapo mistakenly believed that there was a connection between one of Heydrich’s executioners and a family in Lidice whose son was serving in the Czechoslovak army in Britain.
