When I was in Prague, we went to a little town outside of Prague called Lidice. It was a small village of around 500 people or so when Hitler decided to make an example of it to show his power and kill everyone in the village, including 80 children. This statue was truly amazing…words really cannot describe the feeling standing at this statue looking at the detail and expression in the faces of these children who were robbed their chance of growing old. A very sad and humbling experience. Because of the magnitude of the holocaust, the story of Lidice is mostly unknown. If you’d like to read more about the history of this village and exactly what happened click HERE.
I loved the memorial statue not only because it represented the children of Lidice, but also because it made me think about the lives of these children…and my own children. These children should have been part of the future of their nation, as our children hopefully will be part of ours. No time invested into the lives of our children is wasted. Hopefully you will enjoy this free facebook timeline cover as a reminder of just how important our children are.
