Ceremony at Ďáblice cemetery honours child victims of Communism

A ceremony was held on Saturday at Prague’s Ďáblice Cemetery to remember the child victims of Czechoslovakia’s communist regime. The event, which falls on International Children’s Day, was organised by the civic association BEZkomunistu.cz.

There are 43 gravestones of children at the Ďáblice cemetery who were born in prisons and died due to insufficient care or after being mistreated. There are also an unspecified number of children who were buried at sites without any names or other details.
