The study contemplates the creation of war monuments commemorating the victims of the Great War in Czechoslovakia by analyzing the 20-year preparation and implementation of the monument in Jilemnice in North Bohemia. It also captures the fate of the monument during the Nazi occupation an d in the second half of the 1940s after the liberation of Czechoslovakia. Through a detailed study of archival documents, two periods of efforts to establish the monument are reconstructed. The ideological tone of the monument is also evaluated as well as t he individual contribution of the architect Blahomír Podpěra, the author of the monument.
