A memorial service was held at the former village of Ležáky in East Bohemia on Sunday, marking the 82nd anniversary of its annihilation by the Nazis. Among those who took part were President Petr Pavel and representatives of both houses of Parliament, ministries and the diplomatic community.
The event included a mass, the laying of wreathes and the reading out of victims’ names. A children’s choir performed and the national anthem was played.
The atrocity, which took place on June 24, 1942, came in retaliation for the killing of Nazi governor Reinhard Heydrich and followed the similar destruction of Lidice near Prague. When the Gestapo discovered that the parachutists sent to assassinate Heydrich had kept a radio transmitter in Ležáky they murdered 51 of its residents.

Czech national soccer team manager Ivan Hašek says he is confident his charges’ luck will change in their third and final group game, against Turkey on Wednesday. The Czechs have lost to Portugal and were held to a 1:1 draw by Georgia, leaving them with only one point so far.
Hašek, who is 60, said the German referee in Saturday’s clash with Georgia had generally ruled in the Georgians’ favour in 50-50 situations and had been overly quick to hand out yellow cards.
The coach also said the atmosphere at the championship in Germany – where many Czech fans have been attending games – could help Czechia get the necessary result against Turkey.
