How Deep the Hunger p15

In the town of Lany, twenty-five miles outside the city of Prague, there are four unmarked graves. They are the resting places of the three Masaryks and Eduard Benes. A friend who was there stated that, some months before his death, Dr. Benes visited the cemetery. He expressed a desire to be buried alongside his friends and compatriots. It was also his desire that the grave should go unmarked. “For,” said he, “if the people love me, I shall live in their hearts and they will never forget the place of my grave; hence an identification is unnecessary. If they do not love me, I shall be forgotten in their hearts; and the most elaborate tombstone will make no difference.”
