We went to see what wasn’t there: a town obliterated by the Nazis. Lidice was found to be connected to the assassination of Heydrich, so it was ordered to be destroyed as a symbol of Nazi power. The men were lined up and shot, the women sent to concentration camps, and the children assessed for racial purity to be “reeducated” or sent to a concentration camp. What was once a small farming and mining community is now negative space in memorial to the victims.
