“Freedom is not a given”: Prague Uprising remembered at Czech Radio

Politicians, veterans and members of the public gathered outside Czech Radio’s Prague headquarters on Tuesday to mark the 81st anniversary of the Prague Uprising against Nazi rule. The uprising began on 5 May 1945, near the end of the Second World War, and the ceremony honoured those who fought and died in the final days of the occupation.

The Czech Radio building on Vinohradská Street, a symbol of national resistance, became the epicentre of the uprising and the site of some of the fiercest fighting against Nazi forces.
