Czech paratroopers successfully carried out the assasination of Reinhard Heydrich, the governor of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia at the end of May 1942. Mass murderer Heydrich died on 4 June 1942 in Prague.
In revenge the Nazis took hundreds of Czech lives including the destruction of the village of Lidice. This film shows what happened to the children who were first taken to the Łódź ghetto and then brought to the Chełmno nad Ner death camp and murdered in gas vans.

Lidice was a small village in Czech Republic, which was completely destroyed in June 1942 on orders from Adolf Hitler and Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler in reprisal for the assassination of Reich Protector Reinhard Heydrich.
The village was sorrounded by SS in the evening of 9th of June 1942. All men of the village were rounded up and taken to the farm of the Horák family on the edge of the village (remains 0:56 in the video). Mattresses were taken from neighbouring houses where they were stood up against the wall of the Horáks' barn to prevent ricochets. The shooting of the men commenced at about 7.00 am. At first the men were shot in groups of five, but Böhme (Sicherheitspolizei chief for the Protectorate Bohemia and Moravia) thought the executions were proceeding too slowly and ordered that ten men be shot at a time. The dead were left lying where they fell. This continued until the afternoon hours when there were 173 dead. Another 11 men who were not in the village that day were arrested and murdered soon afterwards.
A total of 203 women and 105 children were first taken to Lidice village school, then the nearby town of Kladno and detained in the grammar school for three days. The children were separated from their mothers and four pregnant women were sent to the same hospital where Heydrich died, forced to undergo abortions and then sent to different concentration camps. On 12 June 1942, 184 women of Lidice were loaded on trucks, driven to Kladno railway station and forced into a special passenger train guarded by an escort. On the morning of 14 June, the train halted on a railway siding at the concentration camp at Ravensbrück.
Eighty-eight Lidice children were transported to the area of the former textile factory in Gneisenau Street in Łódź. Their arrival was announced by a telegram from Horst Böhme's Prague office which ended with: the children are only bringing what they wear. No special care is desirable. The care was minimal and they suffered from a lack of hygiene and from illnesses. By order of the camp management, no medical care was given to the children. Shortly after their arrival in Łódź, officials from the Central Race and Settlement branch chose seven children for Germanisation. The few children considered racially suitable for Germanisation were handed over to SS families.
The furore over Lidice caused some hesitation over the fate of the remaining children but in late June Adolf Eichmann ordered the massacre of the remainder of the children. On 2 July, all of the remaining 82 Lidice children were handed over to the Łódź Gestapo office, who sent them to the Chelmno extermination camp 70 kilometres away, where they were gassed to death in Magirus gas vans. Out of the 105 Lidice children, 82 died in Chełmno, six died in the German Lebensborn orphanages and 17 returned home.
The village was set on fire and the remains of the buildings destroyed with explosives. All the animals in the village—pets and beasts of burden—were slaughtered as well. Even those buried in the town cemetery were not spared; their remains were dug up, looted for gold fillings, jewellery and destroyed. A 100-strong German work party was then sent in to remove all visible remains of the village, re-route the stream running through it and the roads in and out. They then covered the entire area the village had occupied with topsoil and planted crops.

Czech Foreign Minister at Kigali Genocide Memorial
Rwanda/Czech partnership formed as Czech Foreign Minister visits Kigali Genocide Memorial:
15 October 2013 - During the visit by Czech Foreign Minister Jan Kohout to the Kigali Genocide Memorial today, a partnership agreement was signed between the Czech Republic's Lidice Memorial and the Aegis Trust, the genocide prevention organisation responsible for the Kigali Memorial. The partnership will involve cooperation on genocide documentation, archiving and research, together with exchange of publications, exhibitions and expertise.
After laying a wreath at mass graves where some 250,000 victims of Rwanda's 1994 genocide lie buried, Mr Kohout joined CNLG Executive Secretary Jean de Dieu Mucyo and Aegis Country Director Freddy Mutanguha for a tour of the Memorial, where young Rwandans today come together to take part in peace-building education organised by the Aegis Trust.
After seeing this exhibition I am still speechless and I am afraid that all my words will sound dull and empty. Nevertheless, today's visit to the Kigali Genocide Memorial is a symbolic demonstration of the solidarity and sympathy of the Czech people, said Jan Kahout. We must commemorate the Holocaust, the genocide in Rwanda, and learn lessons so that nothing similar ever happens again. Institutions like the Lidice Memorial in the Czech Republic, and the Kigali Genocide Memorial, serve as reminders of these tragic incidents and play an instrumental role in scientific research, education and enlightenment, especially for a younger generation, and so I'm pleased that we are witnessing today the signing of this memorandum, and on behalf of my ministry, I can promise that we will put every effort into [its] successful implementation ... in the Czech Republic and other countries.
Subsidised by the Czech Ministry of Culture, the Lidice Memorial commemorates the extermination of the people of Lidice and Ležáky by the Nazis in revenge for the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich -- one of the architects of the Holocaust, the murder of six million Jews in Europe. Its mission is also to keep alive the memory of the extermination of up to 1.5 million Romani people under the Nazis; many Romani Gypsies were interned at the Lety concentration camp near Lidice.
The people of the Czech Republic hold a special place in the hearts of survivors here in Rwanda, because we know that when all the World was silent, in the darkest days of 1994, it was the Czech Ambassador to the United Nations -- Karel Kovanda -- who fought tirelessly to bring the Security Council to recognize and respond effectively to the genocide against the Tutsi, commented Freddy Mutanguha. The Aegis Trust is pleased and proud to welcome you here today, and to formally enter into partnership with the Lidice Memorial. It is our shared mission to preserve the memory of the victims of genocide, and to educate a new generation to help ensure that such atrocities never happen again -- whether to Jews, Tutsis, Romany, or any other group who may be similarly targeted for exclusion to the point of extermination.
Ms Lubomira Hedlova, Deputy Director of the Lidice Memorial, signed the Memorandum of Understanding with Freddy Mutanguha. She commented, I would like to express how very pleased I am that I can be here today on behalf of the Lidice Memorial to sign this important memorandum. I would like to thank the Czech Ministry of Foreign Affairs that made this journey possible, and I would like to thank local partners for their excellent support. Education is our only hope that atrocities will not happen again, and I think we have something to give to each other.
The Czech visit to the Kigali Genocide Memorial today also included a delegation of business representatives who are visiting Rwanda to explore scope for greater collaboration between companies in the two countries.
Established by Aegis in 2004 at the request of the Rwandan Government and Kigali City Council, the Kigali Genocide Memorial continues to be run by Aegis on behalf of CNLG (Rwanda's National Commission for the Fight against Genocide) as a place both of remembrance and learning for a new generation.

Lidice, Czech Republic (2)
This little village dating back a bunch of centuries, back in June 1942 was literally erased from the maps by the Nazis after the assasination attempt on the life of the Blond Beast Reinhard Heydrich, when two commandos, Jan Kubic and Josef Gabcick tried to kill him when he was arriving to Prag from his home near Prag. The cheap machine gun got stuck and they threw a granade to him injuring him, later on he died. As a result, there were intensive investigations and an unfunded rumor took the Gestapo to Lidice, they came into town, separated the men from the women and children, the men were all killed inside the church along the priest and after that the women were taken to Ravensbruck KZ Lager, the children, 82 of them killed the rest given in adoption to non fertile nazis and then the town was dinamited, burned and buried, afterwards erased from the maps.
After the war, an organization Lidice Lives Forever with the help of alied governments started the rebuilding of the town nearby, leaving the site of the original Lidice empty. Nowadays there are gardens there and a memorial.

Lidice
Lidice (German: Liditz) is a village in the Czech Republic just northwest of Prague. It is built near the site of the previous village of the same name which, as part of the Nazi Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, on orders from Adolf Hitler and Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler, was completely destroyed by German forces in reprisal for the assassination, in Operation Anthropoid, of Reich Protector Reinhard Heydrich in the late spring of 1942. On 10 June 1942, all 173 men over 15 years of age from the village were executed. Another 11 men who were not in the village were arrested and executed soon afterwards, along with several others already under arrest. Meanwhile, 184 women and 88 children were deported to concentration camps; a few children considered racially suitable for Germanisation were handed over to SS families and the rest were sent to the Chełmno extermination camp where they were gassed to death. After the war ended, only 153 women and 17 children returned.
