Podcast
After spending time as a tour guide, I became frustrated by only being able to discuss Berlin and German history. I wanted to explore stories from around the world—because history everywhere is fascinating! This led me to launch the podcast, originally called “The History Buff,” now rebranded as the Ministry of History Podcast.
Lidice: The Annihilation of an Entire Czech Village
A few weeks back, we covered Operation Anthropoid, the assassination of high-ranking Nazi Reinhard Heydrich. On today's episode, we will cover the horrific Nazi reprisals that the Germans carried out in response to the assassination. Following the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich, the Nazis falsely accused Lidice's residents of aiding the assassins. On 10 June 1942, in a horrific act of reprisal, the entire village was obliterated, with its male population systematically executed, while women and children were sent to concentration camps. This event stands as one of the most notorious atrocities committed by the Nazis during the war.
