Culture and History

The memorial and forest cemetery for 143 prisoners are registered as immovable cultural monuments. Both are located in a forest west of Víska u Jevíčka.

A wartime labor camp was established northwest of Víska u Jevíčka on the slope of the valley of the Arnoštovský Stream. The former camp on the road from Víska u Jevíčka, formerly Derflík, to Chornice initially housed civilian workers building the motorway; in spring 1940, Polish Jews were also brought there, followed after the attack on the Soviet Union by Soviet prisoners of war.

In 1942, 142 Soviet prisoners of war died of typhus in the former camp; they were buried in the Kalenky Forest in a special cemetery.

Since 7 October 1951, a memorial has commemorated the place where those who died in a typhus epidemic were buried; in 2006, it was reconstructed with financial support from the Pardubický kraj.
