Stolpersteine in Prague-Smíchov

The Stolpersteine in Prague-Smíchov lists the Stolpersteine in the Smíchov district of Prague. Since 2002, the district belongs to Praha 5. Stolpersteine is the German name for the stumbling blocks placed all over Europe in a project by German artist Gunter Demnig. They memorialise the fate of victims of the Nazis who were murdered, deported, exiled or driven to suicide.

Generally, the stumbling blocks are placed in front of the building where the victims had their last self-chosen residence. The Czech translation of Stolpersteine is Kameny zmizelých, meaning stones of the disappeared.
