"The murder of lidice': International responses to genocide during World War II

Abstract

Using the 1942 Massacre in Lidice, Czechoslovakia as a case study, we seek to address the following research questions: How do governments, artists, and citizens create and distribute propaganda? What propaganda methods are most successful during war? Why do certain traumatic events resonate with the public? How and why did events like the Lidice massacre overshadow the genocide of European Jews during World War II?
