Additional Information
In the early fall of 1941, Acting Reich Protector SS-Obergruppenfuhrer Reinhard Heydrich instigated a reign of terror within the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. Leaders of the Czechoslovakian foreign resistance in London retaliated by planning his assassination. As 1941 drew to a close, a team known as ANTHROPOID was deployed to the Protectorate with the mission of eliminating Heydrich. On May 27, 1942, Czechoslovak paratroopers Jan Kubis and Josef Gabcik executed this significant act of defiance during World War II. They eradicated a man who was not only detested as the killer of the Czech nation, but also the orchestrator of the Holocaust, the most monstrous scheme in human history.
The cost of admission to Panenske Brezany palace and the Lidice museum is covered.

Great tour of unknown history to me - We had no idea what were were in for as our tour started. In late 1941, Operation Anthropoid was established. On May 27, 1974, British trained Czechoslovakian paratroopers Jan Kubis and Josef Gabsik were tasked with assassinating the 3rd highest raining Nazi, SS Obergruppenfuher Reinhard Heydrich. The story of what happened should be part of every visit to Prague.
There are a few movies on the events. Operation Anthropoid and The Killing of Reinhard Heydrick to name 2.

Anthropoid Tour Top Notch - Fantastic time with Roman. Learned a ton about the sorry time in Czech history when we visited Lidiće. The crypt was amazing. Van was comfortable and air conditioned and it was a hot day. Roman was great company as well. Lucy Tours comes through again!

We had a private one day tour, taking in Terezim, Heydrich’s house, village wiped out in retaliation, corner where the car was attacked, the church. Full on day but so worth it. Patrick our guide was very accomplished and accommodating. Throughly recommend using this company.
