Wikipedia:WikiProject Stolpersteine/Stolpersteine in the Czech Republic

Stolpersteine in the Czech Republic gives an overview of the Stolpersteine collocated in the Czech Republic since 2008. 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 disappeared.

(Status from May 2017)

Prague
At least 266 Stolpersteine have been collocated in the capital of the Czech Republic. They are mostly (or all) dedicated to the Jewish victims of the Nazi regime as for most of the political victims there were already monuments or memorial plaques in place when Gunter Demnig started with his project in Prague in 2008. A scientifically correct list of all Stolpersteine in Prague does not exist. Neither the artist, nor the organizers of the collocations do know exactly how many Stolpersteine have been posed in Prague and where they have been collocated. The website stolpersteine.cz all of a sudden disappeared in late 2016. Therefore, it cannot be guaranteed that the following Stolperstein lists of these Prague districts are containing all Stolpersteine collocated:

Central Bohemian Region
The Středočeský kraj, the Central Bohemian Region, is surrounding the capital Prag. Stolpersteine can be found in the following cities:

The Stolpersteine in the Středočeský kraj were collocated by the artist himself in Kolín on 10 October 2008 and 6 November 2009, in Ratenice on 29 October 2012, Milovice and Mladá Boleslav on 13 September 2014. The dates of the collocations in Neratovice are not known at the moment.

These memorial plaques are quite similar to the Stolpersteine, but the inscriptions are not made by hand and the text is in English.

 * In Benešov seven memorial plaques were posed in September 2014 and in May 2015. They are all dedicated to Jewish victims.
