More than 13,000 were arrested. The destruction of the village of Lidice was probably the most notorious thing the Nazis did in retaliation. All 199 men were executed, 95 children were taken and 195 women were arrested. The entire village was destroyed.
Heydrich had been the head of the Gestapo but was promoted to the head of the "Reich Main Security Office", and was the appointed ruler of the Czech Republic. His brutality earned him the nickname "the Butcher of Prague". He was assassinated by Czech rebels at the end of May 1942, although he didn't actually die until the beginning of June.
The Nazis, first and foremost, wanted to capture, torture, torture some more, and then execute the assassins. At first, they were unable to find them, so they arrested anyone and everyone who was around. Thousands of people were arrested, many of whom wound up in concentration camps and were killed.
Additionally, the initial findings of the Nazi investigation erroneously linked the assassins to two nearby towns. The Nazis destroyed those towns, and slaughtered the people. Those who weren't killed immediately, were sent to concentration camps to die.
Eventually the Nazis were able to arrest and torture enough people that they discovered where the assassins where hiding- in a church in Prague. The Nazis surrounded the church, and launched a military-style attack on it; all of the conspirators died, either by wounds or suicide. Also, the bishop at that church (who was not involved in the assassination) surrendered himself to the Nazis in the hopes that they would not attack his parishioners- the bishop and his church staff were arrested, tortured, and killed.
