The Wiener Holocaust Library is hosting a documentary screening next week - please add the date to your diary: 🎥 The Second Life of Lidice” – Wales, Memory, and Film 📍 Thursday 9 October, 6:30pm In June 1942, shortly after the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich, the mining village of Lidice near Prague was burnt to the ground and the male population massacred. The same year, renowned filmmaker Humphrey Jennings shot a film about these events in the village of Cwmgiedd in south Wales. The film, The Silent Village, significantly contributed to making Lidice a powerful international symbol in the struggle against Nazism. The Second Life of Lidice (2002) is a follow-up documentary about the changing views of the Lidice tragedy and the legacy of these events 60 years later. The Chair of our Merthyr Tydfil steering commitee, Adrian Jacobs, will be speaking at the event.
