Ceremony at Ďáblice cemetery to remember child victims of Communism

A ceremony will be held on Monday at Prague’s Ďáblice Cemetery to remember the child victims of Czechoslovakia’s communist regime. The event, which falls on International Children’s Day, is organised by the civic association Bezkomunistu.cz. There are 43 gravestones of children at the Ďáblice cemetery who were born in prisons and died due to insufficient care or after being mistreated. There are also an unspecified number of children who were buried at sites without any names or other details.
