Pay your respects at the National Memorial to the Heroes of the Heydrich Terror in Nové Město. Read the account of the 1942 events, then descend into the crypt where bullet marks still scar the walls.

Full description

This memorial, in the church and crypt where seven paratroopers were killed in 1942 after the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich, tells the story of the operation and the reprisals that followed. Panels with English translation explain the events before visitors enter the crypt, where bullet marks remain.

Reviewers describe it as moving, understated and carefully done, and note that admission is free. It combines a serious historical narrative with a quiet, atmospheric setting in Nové Město.

Reviews

The memorial is very moving. The explanation of the assassination attempt is very thorough and set into panels with English translation. You then pass though a metal into the actual crypt where the parachutists hid and lived. And met their ending. The cathedral above is also lively. A moving and sombre site.
