Within the national research on school education results, students completing compulsory schooling were asked about the meaning of the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich. Some of the students understood the meaning well, but a detailed analysis of the responses revealed that a considerable number were unable to understand the meaning of the act of the resistance movement even if they were provided with the basic facts. The answers reflected superficial presentism when the historical event was interpreted without regard to the historical context. Radical views also emerged that questioned and relativized the importance of national resistance.
