Show 14 Sunday, December 19. 1948 SUNDAY HEUALD Hope Lost For Lidice Children PRAGUE U.R Cxech author!-; ties have abandoned hope of find-Ins find-Ins ninety or more children from Lidice. ' . The revelation came In the dry legal language of the official gas-ette, gas-ette, announcing that action had been started to .declare the missing miss-ing children legally dead. In June, 1942, more than 100 children were packed Into buses at Lidice and taken to Kladno by the Gestapo. After they had left, the men of Lidice were shot, the women taken to concentration camps, and the village was destroyed. de-stroyed. The Lidice children were traced to Lodz, where a group of racially racial-ly suitable youngsters were separated sep-arated and sent to German homes. Most of that group were found after the war. but despite three 'years of effort by Czech, Polish and other authorities, no trace of the more than 90 others has been found beyond the fact that they were removed from Lodz in July, 1942. - Announcements Printed The current Issue of the legal Eazette confirmed that hope had een abandoned by printing seven announcements from the district court In Unhost; county seat for the town of Lidice, asking for newa of the missing persons by December 22. Each said "the above-named was deported to Kladno on June 10, 1942, and then to Lodz. From Lodz he was removed July 2, 1942, to an unknown destination, and it Is probable that he was killed by the Germans." One of the seven children named nam-ed in this Issue was Jaromir Zel-enka, Zel-enka, who was originally listed among the Lidice children believed be-lieved to have been found after the war. Fourteen children returned re-turned to Lidice are believed..to be correctly identified, but in at least five other cases the original Identification turned out to be mistaken. Identification was particularly difficult for very young children such as Jaromir Zelenka, who was less than two years old at the time of the tragedy, and would have been only five or six when found. No- Exact List A completely exact list of the missing children has never been established. Besides the 100-odd carefully tabulated by the Gestapo in records rec-ords recovered after the war by Czech authorities, a half dozen youngsters less than a year old were deposited in a children's home In Prague and found there after the war. Czech nurses had secretly kept the children's identity iden-tity clear. Several others, born after the tragedy, were scattered among German homes. Some of those, too, were located later. In other cases all the relatives of missing children were killed or died before the war's end. making listing and identification more difficult.
