Lidice remembers

On this day 74 years ago, June 10, 1942 the little village of Lidice, now in the Czech Republic, was razed to the ground by Germany.

All 172 men in the village were murdered and the women sent to the concentration camp at Ravensbrück.

The horror was in reprisal for the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich and directly ordered by Hitler.

Another reason why Europe should work in harmony.

Europe needs the EU. Ireland needs it, the UK needs it, Germany needs it, as do Greece, the Czech Republic, all 28 member States.
