"Czech & Slovak partisans" - All the heroes, who committed the assassination and died in the crypt, were Slovaks and Moravians. The only 'real Czech' (as in Bohemian) in the story was Karel Čurda, who betrayed them and caused their deaths.
Moravian history continues to be erased.
On This Day — June 4, 1942
Reinhard Heydrich, a chief architect of the Holocaust, died from gunshot wounds.
Eight days after being mortally wounded in a daring ambush by British-trained Czech & Slovak partisans (Operation Anthropoid) in Prague, the “Blond Beast” finally succumbed to his injuries.
As head of the Reich Security Main Office (RSHA), Heydrich ran the Gestapo and SD.
He chaired the Wannsee Conference, coordinated the Einsatzgruppen death squads on the Eastern Front, and was the driving force behind the bureaucratic machinery of the “Final Solution” that saw six million Jews exterminated.
His death triggered an explosion of Nazi fury.
In reprisal, the SS completely destroyed the villages of Lidice and Ležáky — shooting the men, deporting the women and children to camps (most were murdered), and razing the towns to the ground. More than 5,000 Czechs were arrested and executed across the Protectorate.
Even more significantly, the Nazis accelerated the extermination program.
The code name for the mass murder of Jews in occupied Poland — Aktion Reinhard — was named in his honor.
The original death camps (Belzec, Sobibor, Treblinka) intensified their killing operations in the months that followed.
Two brave men, Jozef Gabčík and Jan Kubiš, struck one of the highest-value targets in the Nazi hierarchy. They paid with their lives, fighting to the end in a Prague church crypt rather than surrender.
Heydrich’s death did not stop the Holocaust. But it exposed the fragility of the system — and proved that even the most powerful architects of evil were not untouchable.
@quachelsey I don't know about ticks in your region, but ticks in mine seem to hate mint.
Once, I had a streak of over 15 years without having a tick on me. Then, one year in spring, I forgot to start drinking my mint tea and got one. I'll never make that mistake again.
After COVID, I thought that my view of the medical industry and medical professionals couldn't be any lower, but they seem to outdo themselves all the time.

"who screened positive"
Screening positive means something entirely different than being diagnosed.
Depending on the test, "screening positive" might mean being assigned a larger than 1 in 300 chance of having a child with this affliction.

RE: Down’s Syndrome and abortion/termination 👇🏽
When I was in medical school doing my OB/Gyne rotation (United Kingdom) I remember the clinic nurse telling me that the vast majority of couples who screened positive for Trisomy 21 (Down’s Syndrome) opted for an abortion. It was rare to find couples that continued.
I don’t know what the numbers are for the USA, but I suspect they are not far off the UK.
I’m not making this post offering personal judgment, but people may not be aware what the official statistics are, and how many mothers and fathers make what must be an awful difficult decision that I couldn’t even comprehend
If there are actually people who opt to kill their offspring after a positive screening test without fully understanding the numbers/further investigation, it's the fault of the murderous medical industry and its employees, who gaslight them into taking "preventative" action.

I'm going to start responding to all these Indian spammers and scammers who try to offer me their 'products' and 'services' with "jugaad exposed" or "izzat -100". Maybe a nice gif, too.
