Stumbling Stones Politických vězňů 913/12

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Felicie Stránská (born 1896, murdered in Auschwitz)
Vilém Stránský (born 1897, murdered in Dachau in 1944)
Františka Schleissnerová (born 1866, murdered in Auschwitz)
Kity Kopecká(born 1926, murdered in Auschwitz)
Mariana Kopecká (born 1888, murdered in Auschwitz)
Zuzana Kopecká (born 1922, murdered in Auschwitz)
Pavel A. Kopecký (born 1885, murdered in Auschwitz)

The small brass plaques, in the pavement in front of houses of which the (mostly Jewish) residents were persecuted or murdered by the Nazis, mention the name, date of birth and place (mostly a concentration camp) and date of death.

In many other cities, mainly in Germany but also in other European countries, the memorials also can be found. There are already many thousands of these plaques and their number is still counting. Almost all Stolpersteine are laid by the German artist himself, Gunter Demnig.
