Stolpersteine Olomouc

In 1993/94, the German artist Gunter Demnig conceived the idea of commemorating Holocaust victims by placing a memorial stone in front of the last freely chosen residence of a person murdered by the Nazis before being deported to a concentration camp. Stolpersteine were first introduced in the Czech Republic through the initiative of the Czech Union of Jewish Youth in 2008. The Jewish Community of Olomouc has been laying Stolpersteine since 2011. If you wish to participate in placing Stolpersteine, please contact kehila@kehila-olomouc.cz.

Stolpersteine are concrete blocks measuring 10 x 10 x 10 cm with a brass plate on top inscribed with the victim’s name, inviting passersby to pause and honor their memory.

As of November 2025, there are 408 Stolpersteine in Olomouc.
