| | telescreen.org: The Murder of Lidice |
 | | On June 10, 1942, the German Government announced with pride that its specially selected murderers had destroyed the small village of Lidice, Czecho-Slovakia; killed every man and fifty-two women, driven the surviving women to concentration camps, and forced the children into so-called educational institutions. |
 | | Two days after the news of Lidice reached America, the Writers’ War Board, at its regular meeting, resolved to do everything it could to keep the name and memory of Lidice from ever being forgotten. |
 | | She answered with a long, dramatic narrative poem,, “The Murder of Lidice,” part of which is herewith published, by special arrangement with Life, which is publishing a large extract from the poem in its current issue. |
