User:Donna Gedenk/Stolpersteine in Stare

The Stolpersteine in Prague-Staré mӗsto lists the Stolpersteine in the Old Town of Prague (Staré Město pražské). The quarter is a medieval settlement and the core of the city center. It is now part of Praha 1. Stolpersteine is the German name for stumbling blocks collocated all over Europe by German artist Gunter Demnig. They remember the fate of the Nazi victims being murdered, deported, exiled or driven to suicide.

Generally, the stumbling blocks are posed in front of the building where the victims had their last self chosen residence. The name of the Stolpersteine in Czech is: Kameny zmizelých, stones of the disappeareds.

The list is sortable; the basic order follows the alphabet according to the last name of the victim.

Dates of collocations
According to the website of Gunter Demnig the Stolpersteine of Prague were posed on 8 October 2008, 7 November 2009, 12 June 2010, 13 to 15 July 2011 and on 17 July 2013 by the artist himself. A further collocation occurred on 28 October 2012, but is not mentioned on Demnig's page.

The Czech Stolperstein project was initiated in 2008 by the Česká unie židovské mládeže (Czech Union of Jewish Youth) and was realized with the patronage of the Mayor of Prague.
