"Lidice Shall Die"
In June 1942, the Czechoslovakian town of Lidice was destroyed by German occupying forces in retaliation for the assassination of Reinhard Heyrich, a high ranking Nazi official. The town's men were killed, most of the children were sent to the gas chambers and the women were transported to Ravensbruck concentration camp.
Jaroslava Sklenickova lived in Lidice at the time and survived.
