Her death became a symbol of resistance against totalitarianism – and a reminder that freedom and democracy (translated)

Milada Horáková was not executed for a crime. She was murdered by the communist regime for her opinion. Communists do not start with the gallows. They start by claiming more power than they are entitled to in a free society. That is why June 27 is not just a memory. It is a warning. (translated)

She became a symbol and is still an indictment of an inhumane system that did not shy away from anything. She became a symbol of thousands of victims of the arbitrary communist regime. Milada Horáková is an indictment of the past and a warning for the future. Democracy is much more fragile than it may seem to us today. Never. (translated)

76 years since the murder of Milada Horáková. A woman who bravely stood up to the Nazis and the Communists – and they were so afraid of her that they decided to kill her.

The Communists began to account for their political opponents right after February 1948.

In 1948, the communists began to rule. On June 27, 1950, Milada Horáková was hanged. She survived imprisonment by the Nazis, but not by the communists. She was 48 years old. There were further murders, imprisonments, and persecution of hundreds of thousands of people. In 1989, the communist criminal regime fell. (translated)
