Milada Horáková Memorial

Klidopark

The monument is located in a small park near the Pankrác prison. Right next to the metro station Pražského povstání. Part of the monument is also a plate with the names of victims of communism. The authors of the monument are sculptor Milan Knobloch and architect Jiří Lasovský.

Beautiful memorial in the park. The memorial is listed by people who have been unjustly executed by the past regime.

The memorial of Milady Horáková was unveiled on Hrdinů Square on October 28, 2009. The text includes the last words of Milady Horáková on the day of her execution: "I love this country and people, I leave without hatred". On the plaque are 234 other names of people who were similarly persecuted by the communist regime. Under the work are signed academic sculptors Jan Bartoš, Ctibor Havelka, Milan Knobloch and architect Jiří Kantůrek. The monument was made by the company Kamenosochařství Hausdorf. Horáková participated in the anti-Nazi resistance during World War II. She also actively opposed the communist regime. She was the only female victim of monstrous communist political purges in the 1950s. Her life ended on June 27, 1950 in the Pankrác Prison after a executed "monster trial". For example, Albert Einstein, Winston Churchill, or Eleanor Roosevelt sought mercy for the convict. However, President Gottwald signed the death sentences.
