The Children´s War Victims Monument, Bronze children memorial in Lidice, Czech Republic
The memorial consists of 82 bronze statues depicting 42 girls and 40 boys, representing each child murdered during the 1942 Lidice massacre.
Following the assassination of Nazi official Reinhard Heydrich in 1942, German forces executed Lidice's adults and sent the children to the Chełmno concentration camp.
Sculptor Marie Uchytilová created plaster models for the memorial by studying photographs and consulting with mothers who survived the Lidice massacre.
The memorial stands in a meadow 22 kilometers northwest of Prague, marking the location where villagers lost their lives during World War II.
The bronze figures required twenty years of work, with Uchytilová's husband completing the casting process after her death in 1989.
