Steve will talk about the destruction of the village of Lidice in 1942  and the part played by Staffordshire and other local people in its re-birth.  In September 1942, coal miners in Stoke-on-Trent, led by Barnett Stross, a doctor, who in 1945 became a local MP, founded the organisation Lidice Shall Live to raise funds for the rebuilding of the village after the war.
