Stolpersteine in Kolín

Stolpersteine for members of the Feder family in Kolín

The Stolpersteine in Kolín lists the Stolpersteine in the town of Kolín in the Central Bohemian Region (Czech: Středočeský kraj). 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 list is sortable; the basic order follows the alphabet according to the last name of the victim.

A website lists 466 names of Jews from Kolín and, if known, what happened with them. Additional fourteen persons could not be identified.[1] The Stolpersteine from Kolín thus memorize only a small fraction of the Jewish losses during the Shoah.

  79. ^ Nazi death certificates are not to be believed, as they regularly forged the cause of death (here: Marasmus). Sometimes even the day and location of the decease are false — in order to distract further generations about the unlawful mass killings. The discrepancy between the two dates has not been solved till now. Some facts are remarkable: The deportation of her companion Žofie Weissbergerová to Treblinka took place on the same 15 October 1942. The train brought exactly 2,000 deportees to the extermination camp. Nazis were mostly very strict with orders and numbers. Out of all these facts, several possibilities emerge. This is not the place to speculate.
