The stumbling blocks in Prague give an overview of the stumbling blocks in the Czech capital Prague (Czech: Praha ), which remind of the fate of those people from this region who were murdered, deported, expelled or driven to suicide by the National Socialists . 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. So far, more than 260 stumbling blocks have been laid in Prague. The stumbling blocks lie in front of the last self-chosen place of residence of the victim. The Stolpersteine ​​are called Kameny zmizelých in Czech , stones of the disappeared.
