This is from the Memorial to the Victims of Communism. Being a great believer in personal freedom, how could I have not gone to see it. The key translations of the above:
205,486 Sentenced [for daring to disagree]I had promised myself that I would get back to Prague, if only to enjoy again the wonderful food and beers. Now I have an additional reason to return.
248 Executed
4,500 Died in Prison
327 Died at the border trying to escape from Czechoslovakia
170,938 Left Czechoslovakia to escape Communism
