Wikipedia:WikiProject Stolpersteine/Stolpersteine in the Prešov Region

Stolpersteine is the German name for stumbling blocks collocated all over Europe by German artist Gunter Demnig. They remember the fate of the victims of Nazi Germany being murdered, deported, exiled or driven to suicide. The Stolpersteine in the Prešovský kraj (pronounced [ˈpreʃowskiː ˈkraj]), the Prešov Region of present-day Slovakia (formerly Czechoslovakia), were collocated in 2013.

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 Slovak is: pamätných kameňov, memorial stones.

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