Description
Some stories should never be forgotten.
In 1942, a small group of Czechoslovak paratroopers carried out one of the most courageous acts of resistance in occupied Europe — Operation Anthropoid. But they were not alone.
Ordinary people — families from Libeň and Žižkov — made extraordinary choices. They hid them, fed them, protected them… knowing it could cost them their lives.
On this tour, we will walk in their footsteps.
We will stand at the place where Reinhard Heydrich was attacked. We will trace the path of Jan Kubiš and Jozef Gabčík. And we will uncover the hidden stories of Prague citizens who chose courage over fear.
You will also learn what daily life looked like under Nazi occupation — the tension, the uncertainty, the quiet acts of resistance — and the devastating consequences that followed the assassination.
Our journey will take us across Prague by public transport and lead us to the crypt of St. Cyril and Methodius Cathedral — the final refuge of the paratroopers, and a place where history still feels painfully real.
This is not just a tour.
It is a story of bravery, humanity, and the price of freedom.
Join me — and help keep their memory alive.
