The assassination by two Czechoslovak soldiers of the Nazi
governor of occupied Bohemia and Moravia, Reinhard Heydrich, on May 27,
1942 was one of the most daring missions of World War II.
Heydrich had ruled the Czechs with unsurpassed brutality and was one
of the masterminds of the genocide of European Jews. The impact of the
killing of Heydrich on the Czech nation was immense, and the legacy
of those events 60 years ago has remained controversial to this day.
On Monday two exhibitions marking the assassination opened in Prague.
