Stolpersteine in Prague.
Stolpersteine (stumbling stones) is a project of the artist Günter Demnig. The project commemorates people who were persecuted by the Nazis between 1933 and 1945.
Stolpersteine are concrete blocks measuring 10x10cm which are laid into the pavement in front of the last voluntarily chosen places of residence of the victims of the Nazis. Generally, the stumbling blocks are posed in front of the building where the victims had their last self chosen residence. They remember the fate of the victims of Nazi Germany being murdered, deported, exiled or driven to suicide. Their names and fate are engraved into a brass plate on the top of each Stolperstein.
