Unwitting Contributor to Lidice Tragedy Tells Role
Major Josef Horak recalls the Lidice massacre and his indirect role in Heydrichs assassination era. He describes his village as a Czech birthplace razed by Communist authorities and his vow to rebuild Lidice as a shrine, which he says never happened. He notes the 1942 parachute mission that killed Heydrich and his own disbelief at being blamed.
