We walked around to the other side and found this plaque. Thankfully I had someone with me who could translate it and explain it to me. Interesting to me was my translators reaction to what the plaque said. She was quite annoyed with the inscription and said it was typical of the political system of that time. Essentially the plaque was heralding the Czechoslovakian people who resisted the Nazis by fighting and sabotaging the Germans anyway they could during WWII. Many died in the process. The reason my translator was annoyed is because the people who erected this monument basically became the oppressors of the Czechoslovakian people after the Nazis were defeated.
