Small well presented memorial
Small museum/memorial in the church crypt to an important but often overlooked event in the history of Naziism. A couple of blocks away from the tourist centre. Nicely and appropriately presented. English language explanations of Operation Anthropoid. No admission charge, but can get crowded when tour groups arrive.

Heroic
A must see visit to this memorial if you ever visit Prague. The story of the heroic paratroopers and their efforts to make Czechoslavakia safe from the Nazis is inspiring. As the loop closed after the assassination of Heydrich they took refuge in the church and stayed hidden until betrayed. To stand up to the might of the Nazis is awe inspiring and it's a story that deserves to be told. Don't miss this Memorial.
