U.S. President Woodrow Wilson Monument in Prague Rebuilt 70 Years After Nazi Destruction

CFN - Seventy years after its destruction by Nazi troops, a memorial statue honoring President Woodrow Wilson will be rededicated on Oct. 5 in Prague, Czech Republic, the American Friends of the Czech Republic (AFoCR) announced today.

The Wilson Monument commemorates the role that the former U.S. president played in helping the Czech people achieve independence in 1918, and it will stand as an enduring symbol of the historic friendship between the United States and the Czech Republic.

“Many Americans, including the millions who are of Czech descent, are unaware of the aid and support President Wilson gave to the Czech people in their struggle for freedom,” said AFoCR Director Robert Doubek, who is Project Director for the Wilson Monument. “But the Czech people never forgot which country and which president did so much so secure their independence as a free nation.  The rededicated Woodrow Wilson Monument honors a historic friendship that has stood the test of time.”...
