The list of stumbling blocks in Prague-Smíchov includes the stumbling blocks that were laid in the Smíchov district of Prague . The district has been part of the Prague 4 district since 2002 . The stumbling blocks remind of the fate of the people who were murdered, deported, expelled or driven to suicide by the National Socialists in the Czech Republic. The stumbling blocks were laid by Gunter Demnig .
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.
