Built to honour the victims of Nazi liquidation action (6.8.1944) in revenge of the partisan revolt and the murder of 3 Gestapo members. 36 men from Životic and surrounding villages were shot.
After the Second World War, the body of the Zivotice tragedy victims were exhumed and transported to this palce and were buried in a tomb. In the September 25th 1949 was unveiled a monument at this place, designed by sculptor and painter Frank Swider from Karviná.
The memorial is also dedicated to all victims of occupation and also recalls the history of resistance in Teschen 1938-1945.
