Lidice is the mining village that the SS destroyed on 10 June 1942 in reprisal for the attack on Heydrich: the men were shot, the women and children deported and the houses razed. Today it is a memorial half an hour from Prague, reached by metro and bus. This plan follows the long route proposed by the memorial itself: the museum, the meadow of the vanished village, the monument to the children, the rose garden and the gallery of the new village.
