Things to Do: 5 reviews and 16 photos A small monument honoring
the Slovak National Uprising at the end of World War II. The
1944 Uprising, led by the Slovak Resistance, overthrew the
collaborationist government of J. Tiso. The Nazis responded with
massive force and defeated the uprising, but in spring 1945 the
Soviet Red Army marched in. at first glance this looked a lot
like so many of the other monuments commemorating soviet
liberation of places occupied by the nazis. <information
