The Anthropoid Operation Memorial, War resistance memorial at Zenklova Street, Prague, Czech Republic.
The memorial occupies the exact site where Reinhard Heydrich was killed in 1942, featuring bronze figures arranged with a central steel column and weathering steel structures around it. The sculptural composition uses form and material to mark this historical location.
Czech resistance fighters carried out Operation Anthropoid on May 27, 1942, killing the high-ranking Nazi official Reinhard Heydrich. The assassination was a pivotal act of resistance against German occupation.
The design draws from Leonardo da Vinci's study of human proportions, reflecting the operation's name which refers to human form. The bronze figures are arranged to convey a moment that held deep meaning for Czech people.
The site sits at what was once a sharp road bend in the Liben neighborhood and is accessible via nearby tram stops. Visitors can approach it freely on foot at any time of day.
The central triangular column echoes the colors of the Czech flag in its design. The steel structures develop a distinctive weathered surface through natural oxidation that changes over time.
