Jachymov

We shall never forget. The Hell of Jáchymov Trail remembering several out of many local labour camps built and used to abuse prisoners including numerous political prisoners and members of clergy. MUKLs working here on uranium extraction for the former Soviet Union were The Men Earmarked for Liquidation, the labour, camp life, abuse and uranium extraction were aimed at fulfilling this mission. Do you know what the Russian bus means? About 2 to 300 prisoners were tied together with a 9-mm steel wire and such block was forced to walk from the camp to the mine (about 1 km in length every day). It was a common practice in the Nikolaj mine and labour camp. We also descended the Mauthausen Stairs of Horror today. 13 km, 13 caches, countless words of abhorrence with the communist regime.
