Den nespravedlive stihanych
A somber day of remembrance for the victims of the communist regime in Czechoslovakia. On this day in 1950, the communist government launched Action K, the mass internment of Catholic monks and nuns in concentration camps. The day is observed with memorial services at former internment sites, and the names of the persecuted are read aloud. The day serves as a reminder that the freedom Slovakia enjoys today was paid for with the suffering of those who resisted tyranny.
