Monumento Zákřovský Žalov, War memorial in Kyjanice forest near Velký Újezd, Czech Republic
The memorial features a sorrowful woman figure accompanied by nineteen linden trees arranged in a semicircle behind the monument, representing each victim.
On April 18, 1945, the Gestapo and Vlasov's Cossack unit arrested nineteen men from Zákřov village, who were tortured and executed near Kyjanice.
The monument, unveiled in 1949, was designed by sculptor Vladimír Navrátil and architect Lubomír Šlapeta to commemorate local residents killed during World War II.
Visitors can reach the memorial by following the red-marked hiking trail from Kozlov to Staměřice through the forest landscape.
The memorial bears the inscription 'My dali život - vy dejte lásku' meaning 'We gave life - you give love' in remembrance of the nineteen martyrs.
