    Archaeologists finished exploring with a probe a mass grave of anti-Communist political prisoners at the Prague-Dablice cemetery to find out the exact place where the body of anti-Nazi and anti-Communist fighter Zdena Masinova Sr is buried, Prague councillor Milena Johnova (photo) told on a news conference today, on Thursday, July 23, 2020. Her bodily remains are not found. In March, Prague agreed with Zdena Masinova Jr. that the body of her mother would be exhumed. Masinova Sr (1907-1956) was the wife of a hero of the anti-Nazi resistance movement, Lieutenant Colonel Josef Masin, who was shot dead by the Nazis in 1942. Apart from the daughter, she had two sons, Ctirad and Josef, who succeeded in fighting their way out of the Communist Czechoslovakia to the West in the early 1950s. Masinova Sr, who organised a petition in support of democratic politician Milada Horakova who was sentenced to death and executed in 1950, was arrested in 1953 in connection with her sons' anti-Communist activities and later sentenced to 25 years in prison, while her brother Ctibor Novak was executed in 1955. She died in prison in 1956 and was buried in a mass grave without a funeral. She was rehabilitated in 1991. (CTK Photo/Michal Krumphanzl)
