Czech President Milos Zeman, left, and Lidice Mayor Veronika Kellerova, right, pictured during the 70th anniversary of renewal a Czech village Lidice, that the Nazis obliterated on June 10, 1942, in Lidice, Czech Republic, May 27. 2017. Lidice Mayor Veronika Kellerova thanked the Czechoslovak people, Britain, the United States and Russia for their contributions. Symbolic keys to Lidice were handed to President Milos Zeman, British Ambassador Jan Thompson and U.S. charge d'affaires Kelly Adams-Smith. Russian Ambassador Alexander Zmeyevsky received a Lidice rose for the building of the first memorial on the mass grave of the men of Lidice and for the Red Army liberating the Lidice women who were forced to join a death march from the German concentration camp in Ravensbruck. Lidice was obliterated by the Nazis in retaliation for the assassination of high Nazi official Reinhard Heydrich by Czechoslovak paratroopers trained in Britain. The Nazis shot all Lidice men dead, sent the women and most children to concentration camps, where many of them perished, and the remaining children to German families for upbringing.
