Are you ready to find out more about Prague WW2 and what made this country so free and liberal?
Dive deep into Prague’s turbulent past on this gripping WWII and communism tour.
What happened during WW2 in Prague? And what followed afterward?
On this tour, we cover three tragic stories. We highlight the fallen heroes of the totalitarian regimes.
We start with a Czechoslovak hero.
A lawyer and politician, who strived for equality in social posture, women’s rights, and anti-Fashism.
A woman who gave her life for her country and her beliefs.
Nazis persecuted her during WW2 in Prague.
After, she was executed by the Communist regime for treason by a kangaroo court based on the soviet purge.
Our second story introduces you to the chef sculpture of the largest statue in the world of Joseph Stalin.
Its construction and destruction. It was commissioned by the communist party here in Prague in 1949.
You will hear a tragic story of oppression, torture, and suicide right at the site of the former statue.
The third tale takes us to Prague in 1942. You will learn about the assassination of a high-ranking SS third Reich officer– number 3 in rank to Hitler.
He was the orchestrator of the “final solution” (the Holocaust). You will get to know the brave airman who carried out this deadly mission to their final demise.
We visit the catacombs of the Church of St Cyril and Methodius where a gun battle with the SS took place. There are bullet holes still clearly visible on the walls. (The good news is that in the proximity there is a Dancing House we will admire on the way)
