Nazis filmed the destruction of my village

Artist Marie Uchytilová (Jan17, 1924 – Nov 16, 1989) created the *Memorial to the Children Victims of the War*, a bronze sculpture, in Lidice, Czech Republic. It commemorates a group of 82 children of Lidice who were gassed at the Chełmno death camp in the summer of 1942 during World War 2 as a part of the Lidice massacre. Work began on the memorial in 1980, but it was not until 2000, ten years after Uchytilová's death, that it was completed by her husband, Jiří Václav Hampl. #Holocaust #Remembr
