Bishop Gorazd, after two months in prison. During WW2, having provided refuge for the assassins of SS-Obergruppenfuhrer Reinhard Heydrich in the cathedral of Saints Cyril and Methodius in Prague, Gorazd took full responsibility for protecting the patriots after the Schutzstaffel found them in the crypt of the church. On June 27, 1942, he was arrested and tortured. On September 4, 1942, Bp. Gorazd, the Cathedral priests and lay officials were executed by firing squad at Kobylisy Shooting Range.
