Eva Kubíková-Bullock, one of the surviving Lidice children, passed away

At the end of December, Eva Kubíková-Bullock, who was one of the surviving children of the Lidice massacre, died at the age of eighty-seven. She lived in Canada but visited Lidice repeatedly throughout her life. During the Second World War, the Nazis murdered 88 of the 105 children from Lidice. After 1945, 17 of them returned to Lidice. Six are still alive today.

Lidice is one of the symbols of Nazi terror during the Second World War. This was due to the alleged connection of one of the residents of Lidice to the assassination of the acting Reich Protector of Bohemia and Moravia, Reinhard Heydrich. A total of 340 Lidice residents were killed. After the war, 143 women and 17 children from Lidice returned to their homeland.
