The installation is accompanied by a commemorative event being held in the village. Bonhoeffer was a Lutheran pastor and anti-Nazi dissident who was executed in 1945 for his involvement in plots against Adolf Hitler. The memorial reflects Slovakia's efforts to honor figures who resisted fascism during World War II.
