Stumbling block for Karel Jelinek

The list of stumbling blocks in Prague-Malá Strana contains the stumbling blocks that were laid in the Prague Lesser Town quarter (Czech: "Malá Strana"). Stumbling blocks remind of the fate of the people who were murdered, deported, expelled or driven to suicide by the National Socialists . The stumbling blocks were designed by Gunter Demnig and are usually laid by him personally.

The Czech stumbling block project Stolpersteine.cz was launched in 2008 by the Česká unie židovské mládeže (Czech Union of Jewish Youth) and was under the patronage of the Prague Mayor. The stumbling blocks lie in front of the last self-chosen place of residence of the victim. The stumbling blocks are to Czech stumbling blocks called alternatively kameny zmizelých (stones of the disappeared).

Some of the tables can be sorted; the basic sorting is done alphabetically according to the family name.
