The inscription reads "Lidice In 1942 the Nazis killed all the men in Lidice, Czechoslovakia, took the women and most of the children into concentration camps and then razed the village to the ground. This crime was committed as a reprisal for the assassination of the Nazi leader Heydrich. A new Lidice has now been built and a garden of peace and friendship with roses blooming in it donated by peace loving people from all over the world." The caption to the painting reads "Mass grave of the men of Lidice."
