The desecration of Jewish cemeteries under the communist regime of the former Czechoslovakia has been given official recognition with a new memorial fashioned from headstones that were carved up and used for paving stones in Prague.
The Return of the Stones monument, consisting of 7 tonnes of broken tombstones, was unveiled on Wednesday in the Czech capital’s old Jewish cemetery, which itself was partly desecrated to make a public park before becoming the site of the city’s soaring television tower.
