If you want to see the REAL memorial to Jan Palach, go to this video here in YT: "Jan Palach Eroe contro il comunismo".

In this video you will see the memorial, a bronze cross on the floor, marking the place where he fell.

I'm proud to say that Jan Palach is a blood relative of mine! My grandfathers cousin, pretty cool eh?

This is the memorial to the victims of communism on Wenceslas Square rather than simply a memorial to Jan Palach per se. The Jan Palach (and Jan Zajic, who also self-immolated on Wenceslas Square) memorial is further up the square next to the National Museum - it's a recumbent cross embedded into the paving stones and is remarkably beautiful.
