World War II history is not merely a series of encounters and tactics but the story of human strength, sacrifice and remembrance. There is no experience as enriching to those people who want to relate a little to that past than a WWII tour that focuses on Operation Anthropoid and the tragic experience of Lidice. This tour puts on a window into the resistance movements that defined Czechoslovak history through the use of immersive storytelling, walks through memorials, and local guides who are experts. Being the engine of the creative travel experiences, we at ArtOfYourTravel invite you to travel not only physically, but on the basis of the heritage.
The Essence of the Operation Anthropoid Tour
The 4-hour tour of the Operation Anthropoid is the center of any serious WWII tour. The tour follows the mission of assassinating one of the most senior Nazi officials Reinhard Heydrich by Czechoslovak paratroopers Josef Gabcik and Jan Kubis.
Excursions will include sightseeing in:
- The place of their last stand was the St. Cyril and Methodius Cathedral.
- The ambush happened on Curve of Heydrich.
- Kobylisy shooting range and Dablice cemetery that reprisals were being done.
- The memorials and the monument of the Girl with Bicycle.
These small yet emotionally powerful landmarks make alive the courage and the tragic outcomes of the opposition.
Offering this tour, we make sure that visitors do not see plaques but feel the burden of history and the connection with all those people who had to fight in extreme situations.
Lidice Village Memorial: A Nazi Terrorism Symbol
Visiting Lidice Village Memorial is a part of no WWII tour on the Czechoslovak territory as the story of this place is imprinted on the mind of the world. After the assassination of Heydrich on June 10, 1942, the Nazis burned the village down, killing 173 men, deporting women and children and destroying the houses.
It is today maintained with solemn silence. The visitors will be able to walk the sacred territory, enjoy the Rose Garden (over 24,000 rose bushes), the exhibition of the museum is entitled And the Innocent Were Guilty… and to locate the haunting Bronze Monument to the 82 Children by Marie Uchytilova.
The strata of the memorial: the remains of foundations to child sculptures eloquently narrate about the loss, endurance and the relentless dedication to the memory.
Designing a Multitask Tour Experience
Although the 4-hour Operation Anthropoid tour is a strong one, a lot of the travelers choose the prolonged ones including Lidice and others. As an example, the 7-hour excursion also covers the resistance sites in Prague in addition to Lidice village to provide a more complete storytelling.
In this hybrid journey, your guide takes you out of the city to the countryside and describes how one deed in the center of Prague had an expanding effect in Lidice with catastrophic effects. In the process, the participants are not only taught but they also experience a physical attachment to the past.
