Explore the authentic site of a significant World War II battle in Prague at the underground crypt of the Baroque Church of Sts Cyril and Methodius. This hidden shelter was provided by the Czech Orthodox Church to Czechoslovak paratroopers from May 27 to June 18, 1942, following their attack on Reinhard Heydrich. The military operation, known as "Anthropoid," was waged by the Czechoslovak exile government in London and is recognized as one of the most important acts of resistance in European history.

The Memorial aims to provide a truthful interpretation of the Heydrich terror epoch and honor the sacrifices of the soldiers and participants of the non-communist resistance. Visitors can explore the sacred crypt under the cathedral, view a permanent exhibition in the hall, and attend lectures and videos in the dedicated hall. This exhibition offers a profound look into the bravery and resilience of those who fought for the freedom of the Czechoslovak Republic during the Nazi occupation from 1938 to 1945. Join us on this historical journey to pay tribute to the heroes of the past.
