Czech prose excerpts_(No.7) Publication site Bautzen, 29 March 1944 Kornstr. 1 "Čechoslovák" (London): No. 49 of 3 December 1943 "Lidice. This is the title of the book, which the Czech-Wakischo journalist V.Žižka undoubtedly wrote with the intention of bringing together the Lidice drama, which, despite the Krioges di Welt, has so much frightened. In his description and quotations, the author captures the first period of chachuchisohon defiance, in which he sobbed oine roll, or informs about the all-gomeinen conditions and about the special in the Kladno area in the time of the regime of mass murderer Heydrich, before one morning patriots prepared an endo to this unhouor, Hior is however already the first annex with the Lidices, which are a symbol of all terror and all schlighlichkeit of the Deutschon. Only when we read dos book Zižkas do we become aware of how the Lidice tragedy had an effect on the world. The author lists all the Aktionon, Aoussorungon and rallies that have taken place especially among the Borg people in England, but also in America, Canada and the South-Amorican states, the nine Capitol Zižkas have nothing in common with a casual or sentimental reportage. Rather, they are cine precise and exact chronology with a description and numbers: It is good to think that the author wrote here a book with great love and the correcton inclusion. The book contains some reproductions and facsimile prints, so that readers can make a presentation of the people and the Lando, in which the şor occurred unheard of incident. One could raise the objection that the book was late orchestrated. The view would be wrong sehon deswegon, because the book is written for the British oaffontality, not a novel and koine dich-ung, sondorn is the image of classified and interrelated facts, and no one is allowed to look over when he will deal with the Lidicers in the future. It is to be estimated that the Nimbus of Lidice, before which the journalist, in his work, has to some extent vehemently bowed, falls a little back on the whole steadfast people in Soinon Moial consuquences and that diose's book will reawaken the intoress for our cause, whose also tragical meaning is also abtr in his Schönhoit symbolic expression Lidice."
