This Haunting Memorial Commemorates 82 Children That Were Handed Over To The Nazis And Killed
World War II is known to be the deadliest conflict in human history. Somewhere between 50 to 85 million people lost their lives due to the pointless, mindless war that was based on two Utopian ideologies. Needless to say, the combat only served the upper men instead of those who fought them. Unbelievably cruel massacres and atrocities were carried out both by Soviets and Nazis – the Holodomor, Holocaust, strategic bombing, etc. Yet, the memory of those wasted lives remains. One of the most atrocious acts done by Nazis was the wiping out of the Lidice village located in former Czechoslovakia (now in the territory of the Czech Republic).

82 children in bronze overlook the old Lidice village
The bronze sculpture by Marie Uchytilova in Lidice, Czech Republic commemorates the children who were killed by Nazis in the summer of 1942. It honors a group of 82 children – 42 girls and 40 boys – all of whom were gassed at Chełmno. The Polish town housed a Nazi concentration camp built in World War II. In fact, it was the first German extermination camp set up specifically to carry out ethnic cleansing through mass killings.
All of them were killed by Nazis during World War II
Back in 1942, on June 10 Nazis had killed nearly all the residents in Lidice village. It was done as a reprisal for the assassination of Nazi official Reinhard Heydrich, the Reichsprotektor of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. The village was completely destroyed, men were killed, the women and little children were separated and sent to concentration camps. That summer was the last one for them.
Their entire village was completely destroyed
After the assassination of Nazi official Reinhard Heydrich, (the Reichsprotektor of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia), Hitler immediately ordered mass killings in Czechoslovakia to avenge his death. He also wanted severe punishments to be carried out against any village that had harbored the assassins. To the residents of the villages, the following was bound to happen: all of the adult men would get killed, women – taken to concentration camps, the children who looked Aryan would be “Germanized” and the remaining ones – killed. Nazis specifically targeted Lidice because one local family had a son in the Czech army in England.
All of the men of the village were executed, while women were taken to concentration camps
In 1942, on June 10 Nazis killed all 173 adult men in Lidice village. The 184 women and 88 children were taken away. The children were then dumped in an unused factory in Lodz, Poland. Then, certain ones were chosen for Germanization. The remaining 82 children were taken to the Chelmno extermination camp to be gassed – some decades later, they will inhabit the village forever as haunting bronze statues.
The haunting memorial was created by a Czech sculptor, Marie Uchytilova
Marie Uchytilova-Kucova was a Czech sculptor as well as an academic sculptor professor born in 1924. The artist was deeply touched by the unimaginably cruel crime committed in Lidice. In 1969, Marie decided to commemorate the victims by creating a bronze memorial for all the young lives lost.
The sculptures took two decades to finish
It took two decades for Marie Uchytilova to create eighty-two bronze statues of children which are all above life-size height. While the artist was working on the artwork, numerous people visited her atelier, and they later started collecting money for the monument. In March of 1989, Marie finished the sculptures in plaster, however, she never saw the money that was collected. Therefore, the artist cast the first three statues in bronze by using her savings. The same year, Marie unexpectedly died and the war memorial project was left unfinished.
Now, they stand as a silent memory to those young lives lost in a cold and mindless massacre
After the sudden death of the sculptor, her husband J.V. Hampl continued the work on his own. In 1995, 30 children in bronze were finally ‘returned’ to their mothers in Lidice. From 1996, more statues were installed, while the last ones were uncovered back in 2000. Currently, there are 42 girls and 40 boys murdered in 1942 overlooking the valley.

Share on FacebookThe atrocities committed should not be forgotten. This is a monument that brings the horror to light and makes one wonder how normal, caring people are so easily transformed into monsters when orders are followed. The far-right imbeciles claiming that the Holocaust never happened are dangerous people and it is a disgrace that facebook, google, twitter, etc continue to publish their message of hate and destruction.
The British Labour Party are far Right?................In early March, the British Labour Party was forced to explain why it allowed Gerry Downing, who had written about the need to “address the Jewish Question,” and Vicki Kirby, who once tweeted that Adolf Hitler might be the “Zionist God,” to be readmitted to the party following their suspension for anti-Semitism.

This comment is shockingly ignorant. Go tell a holocaust survivor that these immigrants are in the same situation as the WWII concentration camps. People being fed and cared for while being separated from their families temporarily is so much different than literal death camps. Your statement is a massive insult to those who lived through the actual concentration camps.
Load More Replies..."Nazis specifically targeted Lidice because one local family had a son in the Czech army in England." - that's not true, the Nazis believed that someone in the village was in touch with members of operation Anthropoid. But all of that was just an excuse to kill them because they wanted to discourage others to follow the resistance.
Tragically, the allied forces also committed atrocities. For example, the United States using nuclear weapons in Nagasaki and Hiroshima. In addition, the firebombing of targets in Germany and Japan in which many civilians were killed. I acknowledge that war is hell and many lives were saved by these actions, nevertheless in my opinion they could be considered atrocities.
How many civilians were killed by Allies just because they were some race? How many children were killed because they were not blonde enough? How many villages Allies removed from existance (destroy all buildings, kill everbody, hide everything under dirt and remove from all maps)? You are talking mostly about civilians working in factories building tanks, bombers and ammo. Luftwaffe willingly bombed cities full of civilians, while at RAF bombing even one house would send you to court and if you were lucky, you got only ten years of prison. The only bad thing from Allies you can compare with Third reich is what Soviet union did after war, like Katyn. Or general Vlasov's forces.

Odd aspect to the article - it proposes that WW2 was the clash of two utopian ideologies, presumably the author meant Fascism and Communism? However, the war started as a clash between Nazi Germany and Poland, who was neither a fascist or communist state but a democracy. The war rapidly spread to France and England, neither of whom were communist or fascist. So, unless the author means a clash between fascism (Germany and Italy) and the democracies of Poland, England, France, Denmark, Norway, etc. However, I'm not sure anyone has every characterized parliamentary democracy as 'utopian'. It was only later, after the invasion of Russia that the war was depicted as a great clash of ideologies. However, it certainly didn't start out that way. This is also ignoring the entire Pacific theatre, which again, could not be characterized purely in terms of a clash of ideologies. If anything the greatest ideological clash was between competing imperialist nations.
Yes, I think the author couldn't lay aside his anti- Russian agenda even when writing about the horrors of Nazism.

I'm still not ready to go and see personally one of the concentration camp museums (honestly, I am not sure what else to call them) because of how drastically horrifying they are. What really sits back in my mind is when my pops asked me to search up any places to visit in Poland, a lot of them had to do with World War II (mostly concentration camps). Such a beautiful country and yet I can't help, but feel saddened that rather than people looking at it's beauty, only this horrifying history is recounted. My generation won't be able to see it as the land of red poppies and white storks, but a country soaked in crimson blood and pale faces. And to take into consideration that this is one of the many genocides that happened throughout history is just crazy. The amount of people that suffered throughout the centuries simply because one man presumes to be better than another. It's something I'll never understand.
And I completely understand that! I've already been to many of those places, but what I'm saying is that if you search up "Places to see in Poland," many of the search results will push you toward World War II historical museums. The beauty of Poland is being covered by this horrific war. It was hard for me to even find something new to see because of this. Luckily I am going to see the beautiful colorful town (Zalipie) tomorrow so I hope to give some people feedback on that if anyone wants to know, but it was hard to find it on a "recommended" page. Stuff like this just doesn't show up as often anymore.

truly heartbreaking.. i can only imagine the pain and the fear connected to those statues...
The children were not 'handed to the nazis'. They were taken and killed. The headline as presented makes it look like the Czechs collaborated, which could not be further from the truth
The first thing that came to my mind was "this is beautiful" Which sounds weird at first. But there are many different kinds of beauty. This makes my heart hurt, but it also makes me happy that someone cared deeply enough to create 82 statues, and from real pictures too. This gives me hope.
We should add that the definition of 'man' to the Nazis, in this instance, was any male over the age of 14. And the only reason that not everyone was killed was that they chose some children who were young enough--i.e. babies--and who looked 'proper German' to be sent to one of the camps for the Resettlement of German Ideals to be raised as proper little Nazis, adding insult to injury.
I know the artist in person. My granddad , who had a children holiday camp in East Germany took us children to Lidice and Prague where the artist was living. He even created a museum in Bad Schmiedeberg with a statue from her. But after 1989 when the wall came down and he lost his kob noone was interested anymore. It’s important that we take our children to lidice to educate them, what cruel happened in the world. Those artist couple have done an amazing work.

If people would take their blinders off, and do some soul searching, I don't think there are very many who can say with complete honesty that they've never had negative or racist thoughts, words, or deeds, about any race. Try talking to a white American about owning African slaves, that were captured and auctioned like cattle. Or the decades of racial terrorism, lynching, torture, burning their churches, after they were freed, And the Jim Crowe laws that instituted segregation... In Germany, there are no Hitler statues, but plenty of memorials in front once Jewish owned shops, etc. But in the South(in America) there are plenty of statues of Confederate leaders and their flag still hangs at government buildings. If everyone would take their own inventory everyday, instead other peoples', and made sure they were living up to the standards they placed on every other being, we could have world peace.
