Stolpersteine in Chodov

The Stolpersteine in the Karlovarský kraj lists the Stolpersteine in the Karlovy Vary Region (Czech: Karlovarský kraj, also "Carlsbad Region") in the westernmost part of Bohemia. Stolpersteine is the German name for stumbling blocks collocated all over Europe by German artist Gunter Demnig. They remember the fate of the Nazi victims being murdered, deported, exiled or driven to suicide.

Generally, the stumbling blocks are posed in front of the building where the victims had their last self chosen residence. The name of the Stolpersteine in Czech is: Kameny zmizelých, stones of the disappeared.

The lists are sortable; the basic order follows the alphabet according to the last name of the victim.
