Ležáky před 82 lety 🖤 Moje srdeční záležitost. Ležáky, na které jsem hrdá. Osud podobný Lidicím, ale snad ještě krutější. 11 dětí zavražděno v plynových autokarech, muži a ženy (i ve vysokém stupni těhotenství) zastřeleni. Přežily jen dvě malé sestry. Obec nebyla obnovena, na místě domů stojí žulové hrobodomy. Osada, kde aktivně působila odbojová skupina Čenda i vysílačka Libuše s radistou parašutistou Jiřím Potůčkem.
Moje Ležáky, které tak stejně trochu zůstaly ve stínu Lidic. 🖤 Určitě je navštivte.

⛲️Following on from our previous post by our International Secretary Marta Majercik, On Sunday I was at the Parachute Fountain thinking of Josef Valčík and his comrades. The Friends of the Czechoslovak Memorial Fountain Czechoslovak Freedom Fountain organised the event with Stephen Loquens directing the commemoration. Each year the event becomes busier and busier, and it is marvellous to see the students from the 🇨🇿Czech and 🇸🇰Slovak Schools 👭in Warwick🇬🇧participating. If we don’t engage the next generation now, who will we pass the torch to in the future? I even had chance to chat with some of the locals who were walking through the park prior to the event and told them about the history behind the fountain.
The speeches from the Czech and Slovak Ambassador both recognised the bravery of the seven named on the fountain, but also all the Czechoslovak Brigade🪖 that was stationed in the area during the early part of WWII. We were all reminded of the huge cost that was paid for Operation Anthropoid by the Czechoslovak people, with the 🌹roses from Lidice that are always in full bloom at this time, blood red in the sunshine today.
During the Last Post we also reflected on the brave young service personnel in 🇺🇦 Ukraine who continue to fight for the liberation and freedom of their own country, the way our veterans did for Czechoslovakia. As H.E Róbert Ondrejcsák said, evil never sleeps, we must all be alert, to stand up against it.
🌺💐Wreaths and flowers were laid at the memorial afterwards by the Czech and Slovak Ambassadors, local dignitaries, and representatives from veteran groups and the RBL. Children from the Czech and Slovak Schools laid their own wreaths and personal tributes.
Congratulations to all those involved in organising another excellent event, and Chris Pavel who carried the standard during the service.
We will remember them!

🌟 Help Restore a National Treasure!
🕊️ The Lidice Memorial needs your help to raise 13 million CZK (nearly €600,000) to restore a sculpture of immense national importance—The Memorial to the Children's Victims of War by the renowned Czech sculptor Marie Uchytilová (1924–1989).
❤️ In the first three months, we've already raised nearly 1.5 million CZK (over €60,000), but we still need your support!
🔸Why Your Donation Matters:
This year marks the centennial of Marie Uchytilová's birth. Her Memorial is the only monument in the world dedicated to children affected by war, featuring 82 bronze sculptures commemorating the Lidice children tragically murdered by the Nazis during WWII. Marie devoted over 30 years to this work, completed shortly before her untimely death.
🔸A Legacy of Generosity:
Unveiled in 2002, thanks to the generosity of several foundries, the sculpture now urgently needs restoration due to time and weather. Restorer MgA. Hana Nováková has revealed that many sculptures need complex repairs.
🔸Your Impact:
Your donation ensures this profound artwork remains on free public display for future generations. Preserve the memory of the Lidice children and uphold Marie Uchytilová's legacy.
🔸 How You Can Help:
Donate today or help us spread the word! Together, we can restore and preserve this significant piece of our heritage.
🙏 Thank you for your support! Donate now. (Link in the profile header)
