Stolpersteine in Prague-Libeň

Stolperstein for Emil Lustig in Prague-Libeň

The Stolpersteine in Prague-Libeň lists the Stolpersteine in the Cadastral area and district Libeň (German: Lieben) of Prague. The district has been split off. Since 2002 it belongs mainly to Praha 8, but parts of it are now in Praha 7 and Praha 9. 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.

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