Memorial to the Children Victims of the War, Lidice
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Memorial to the Children Victims of the War (Czech: Pomník dětských obětí války) is a bronze sculpture by Marie Uchytilová 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 as a part of the Lidice massacre.[1][2][3] Work began on the memorial in 1980, but it was not until 2000, ten years after Uchytilová's death, that it was completed by her husband. The "Garden of Peace and Friendship" adjoins the memorial.
