Yes, the story of Lidice is one of the darkest ones in the the history of the Czech Republic/Czechoslovakia. My friend's grandpa died there even she does not like to talk about it.

Yes, the story of Lidice is one of the darkest ones in the the history of the Czech Republic/Czechoslovakia. My friend’s grandpa died there even she does not like to talk about it. I guess the sadness is inherited for many generations.

I wonder if it will be available on Netflix with English subtitles. That would be awesome.

It has yet to be distributed in the US. It was produced by Petr Nikolaev , IF the story of Lidice interest you, this is the movie to see. The producer commented (he appeared at the showing) that the story was perverted by the communists. THey claimed the town was a heroic communist town destroyed by the Germans. Only now, after the Czechs realized they were living with a lie, they were able to study the truth and make a movie. I highly recommend it when it gets to your area.

PS zdravím Ameriku a díky za pomoc ve válce a částečné osvobození ČR. Nacisti se chovali hrozně a vůbec nechápu jak se z některých Čechů můžou dnes stát neonacisti a vyznavači Hitlera .

My family and I recently moved to the Czech Repulic in April. I was scouring the web looking for Czech/English news to help me learn Czech and found your site some time back. We actually live here in Lidice, on the street named 10 Června 1942. We're amazed at the kindness of the people who live in this village and equally amazed at the horrible history that took place here!Just thought I say hello!thanks, Marcus Hi,

Most had been interned in concentration camps and, as a young preschooler, I asked my mother when we would get our numbers. I heard from my neighbors stories similar to this one, albeit fewer in number. Nevertheless, only humankind is capable of such cruelty. I was profoundly impacted by my interaction with those Jewish neighbors. I owe them a deep debt for teaching me about gratitude. They also taught me the truth of the adage "All that is necessary for evil to flourish is for good men to remain silent." It is extraordinary that in my adult years, I have had dear friends who were German or Austrian and others who were Japanese.

The evidence is pretty irrefutable. I am sure the decision was not an easy one for Truman as any decision to wage an act of war which you know will cause civilian casualties must never be. I don't think a WWII is possible anymore because of nukes. If there is a WWIII it would basically be the end for all of us. And I agree, we need to have a strong defense so the rogue nutcase like Iran or North Korea cannot make a suicidal move that threatens all of us.... Vlastimil,
