Stolpersteine - Stones of the Disappeared in Prague

Stolpersteine, literally "stones to trip over", are 10×10 cm brass-coated paving stones set into the pavement in front of the houses of the victims of the Nazi regime, according to an original design by the German artist Gunter Demnig. The first stone was laid on 16 December 1992 in front of the City Hall in Cologne. Already more than 88 000 Stolpersteine or Stones of the Disappeared have been installed in 26 countries in Europe and so in their way constitute the largest memorial in the world.
