Czechoslovakia.... 2.75 x 2.75 inch commemorative medal with a profile of Julius Fucik looking left, "JULIUS FUCIK" and "LIDE BDETE" surrounding at bottom. Medal is in a red case, with red velvet underneath. Julius Fucik was a Czechoslovak journalist, critic, writer, an active member of Communist Party of Czechoslovakia, and part of the forefront of the anti-Nazi resistance. He was imprisoned, tortured, and executed by the Nazis. The composer Luigi Nono wrote a musical piece titled Julius Fu_Õk based on the journalist's diary Notes from the Gallows and meant it as a tribute to his resilience in the face of Nazi aggression.
