Abstract
The study focuses on a propagandistic campaign during a show trial with Milada Horáková and twelve other defendants in 1950. It reconstructs course of the campaign and how the public meetings were held based on the instructions of the Communist party and resolutions calling for severe punishment of "traitors" were signed.
It also shows that this campaign even involved children and unveils one of the saddest examples of manipulating children. This study also covers the role of Czechoslovak press in the campaign and describes how the world's media informed about the trial.
