Lidice, Czech Republic

Czech Republic

Lidice, Czech Republic shares 55 connections with 784 other places across 10 topics, shaped almost entirely by its destruction in June 1942 as a Nazi reprisal for the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich. Military and wartime history dominate its connections, with Germany, Prague, and Czechoslovakia holding the most overlap. The massacre prompted a wide international solidarity response: places from Panama to Azerbaijan bear the Lidice name, a Romanian poet published a verse collection titled after the village in 1963, and a memorial rose garden opened at the site in 1955.
