The fourteen panels of exhibition remind us about  the war events from 1939 till 1945. The core of the exhibition covers  the events of Autumn 1941, when Reinhard Heydrich as a representative of the Reich protectorate arrived in Prague, till May 1942 when the assassination took place. The panels of the exhibition shows the preparation of the assassination, its execution by members of Czechoslovak foreign units, cooperation with the domestic resistance, etc.

An important part of the exhibition is dedicated to the personality of R. Heydrich and his plans for the so-called final solution of the Jewish question as its main author since 1939. 

In a broader aspect the exhibition highlights  the relationship between the Czechoslovak, respectively Czech and Jewish peoples, as well as the State of Israel in 20th century during  the president Masarik times, who was one of the main supporters of the so-called Hilsner affair ( 1899 – 1900) until  the end of 1940-ies, when Czechoslovakia helped Israel shortly after its establishment with the arms supply.
