★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It's a pity this monument is not so well-known, at least among people of my age, but it's worth seeing if you are looking for an opportunity to awaken your conscience!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Prague is one of the few cities in Europewhere you can feel the immanent presence of history even if you did not live it directly. The events talented decades ago are still echoing in our common consciousness and you can feel it

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ When visiting the Wenceslas Square and standing before the large St. Wenceslas Monument, make sure you look to your left where there is an interestingly shaped bronze cross embedded into the cobblestone along the ground.
This is Memorial to Jan Palach and Jan Zajic, both university students who died from self-immolation back in 1969 in protest of Soviet occupation. However, it was only installed after the 1989 Velvet Revolution.
The Memorial is simple but effective, creatively and respectfully designed and something that is quite memorable after you have left Prague due to the uniqueness of the small structure.
In the end, not a priority thing to do/see when visiting in Prague but memorable nonetheless. As such, if you plan to visit Wenceslas Square area, it is worth your time and effort to seek out the Jan Palach and Jan Zajic Memorial. It only takes a few minutes of your time to see this minor attraction.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This memorial on Wenceslas Square is a memorial to Jan Palach and Jan Zajíc, two students who protested against the then communist government. The memorial features I think polished granite granite, engraved with portraits of the two. Around the memorial are flowers and tributes.
A nice tribute in a prominent location. The memorial is simple, but plus one for the sentiments.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It was a solemn pilgrimage for me to visit the Jan Palach and Jan Zajic memorials in Prague's famous Wenceslas Square, particularly a flame warped bronze cross embedded in the cobblestones symbolically marking the tragic act of self immolation. Hauntingly that single event in 1969 followed by other protest actions against the oppressive effects of foreign totalitarian occupation resonates powerfully down through time to the present day. Indeed yet another malovelent regeme from that part of Europe which originally compromised Czech freedom, now attempts to enslave the independent sovereign nation of Ukraine!
