Lonely Planet review for Memorial to the Victims of Communism

This striking sculptural group consists of several ragged human figures (controversially, all are male) in progressive stages of disintegration, descending a staggered slope. A bronze strip inlaid into the ground in front of them records the terrible human toll of the communist era – 205, 486 arrested; 170, 938 driven into exile; 248 executed; 4500 who died in prison; and 327 shot while trying to escape across the border.
