Milada Horakova (1901 - 1950)
Milada's grave is in Vysherad cemetary. Like Libuše and Šarka she fought against (TWO!) patro-fascist states and was persecuted for the brave resistance work she did.
She was sentenced to the death by the Germans for her resistance work from the 1939 occupation, but was sent to Terezin instead of being killed. After she was released from Terezin she was urged to leave as friends feared for her safety, but she remained politically active in Prague.
On 27 September 1949 she was arrested by the secret police. She was accused of being the leader of a plot to overthrow the Communist regime. The Czechoslovak secret police infamous for their brutal interrogation methods tried to force her to confess to treason and conspiracy, using both physical and psychological torture.
She was executed by the state in 1950. Her grave is a monument to her brave life and to all those who fought against occupation.
