History
The memorial was built as a tribute to the village of Lidice in Czechoslovakia.[2] In 1942 the village was destroyed and nearly all of its citizens were killed or dispersed by the Ordnungspolizei of Nazi Germany in response to Operation Anthropoid, the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich. The Phillips monument was erected in 1944 in Sokol Park.[3]
