Seventy years ago, Czech resistance fighters assassinated the Nazi leader of occupied
Czechoslovakia, Reinhard Heydrich, known as the "Butcher of Prague." A Czech organization is commemorating the event with a re-creation of a concentration camp, a reminder not only of the resistance effort, but also of the brutal crackdown on civilians that followed. Video by Nikolay Pavlov, RFE/RL

The commandos got the right guy. Heydrich was the Nazi "most likely" to have kept rising in power---a man so terrifying that even German Military Intelligence helped in the plot to have the "hangman" killed (they secretly provided information on  Heydrich's movements to the British). Jan Kubiš and Jozef Gabčík  were the heroic men who sacrificed everything to kill that monster. Their names should be forever remembered.
