Introduction

The marks that World War II created in Europe have not disappeared with time, but they remain visible in the form of memorials, silent museums, and reminders in the form of ruins. People visiting Prague to relate to these tales will discover that nothing will be stronger than a tour around the Prague which focuses on the Operation Anthropoid and a tragic event of Lidice village. We experience these stories in ArtOfYourTravel using the best guides, logistics, and immersive tours. Experience with us the reasons as to why these two locations are important and how we incorporate it to make it memorable travel.

The Legacy of Operation Anthropoid

Operation Anthropoid is one of the most bold anti-resistance operations in the WWII history: the assassination of SS Obersgruppenfuhrer Reinhard Heydrich by Czechoslovak agent. This operation was a symbol and a trigger of its own, a sign that even in the time of occupation, there was a means to fight.

Our 4 hour Operation Anthropoid tour provides such a jolt of immersion in this event:

• The last stronghold of the agents was St. Cyril and Methodius Cathedral.
• The assassination location of Heydrich called Curve.
• Kobylisy Shooting Range & Dablice Cemetery mass grave, vengeful areas.
• The National Memorial of Heroes of the Heydrich Terror: the monument Girl with Bicycle and the crypts 

This sightseeing trip provides a peek at both heroic plan and tragic outcome, affording the sightseer a frame of reference regarding the Czechoslovak resistance in the war.

Lidice: From Ruin to Remembrance

As a direct revenge to the assassination, the Nazis decided to destroy a village that not many people heard of – Lidice. On June 10, 1942, they killed 173 men, deported women and children and burned the village to ashes. Currently, the Lidice Memorial is a symbol of the human strength and the communal memory.

Visitors can explore:

• The principle ruins, rose gardens (more than 24,000 bushes) and sculpture installation on behalf of 82 children gassed in Chelmno (lidice-memorial.cz).
