The Stolpersteine in Prague-Vršovice and Modřany lists the Stolpersteine in the town quarters Vršovice (Praha 10) and Modřany (Praha 12). 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.

The list is sortable; the basic order follows the alphabet according to the last name of the victim.
