Heartbreaking isn't it.

Posted about it here a couple years ago. The memorial breaks my heart.

On 2 July 1942, most of the children of Lidice, a small village in what was then #Czechoslovakia, were handed over to the Łódź Gestapo office. Those 82 #children were then transported to the extermination camp at Chełmno 70 kilometers away. There they were gassed to death. This remarkable sculpture by by Marie Uchytilová commemorates them.
