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 three bronze figures stand back to back on the column's edges, two in helmets as Czechoslovak paratroopers and one in a hat as the civilians who sheltered them. Their pose derives from Leonardo da Vinci's Vitruvian Man, a nod to the name Anthropoid, meaning human in form.

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 column's triangular cross-section refers to the equilateral triangle of the Czechoslovak flag, not to its colours; the dark red comes from corten steel, which forms a rust-like layer over the years. The three bronze figures stand back to back on the column's edges, modelled on Leonardo da Vinci's Vitruvian Man.
