Prager House

The Prager-Haus, located in Apolda, Thuringia, Germany, is a poignant memorial dedicated to the Jewish Prager family, who were victims of the Holocaust. Bernhard Prager, born in 1888, lived in this house until his deportation in 1944. The house serves as a site of remembrance, with an association established in 2007 to preserve its history and educate the public about antisemitism and the Holocaust. The association has conducted extensive research, collected artifacts, and documented the experiences of Jewish residents in the region. Notable memorial efforts include the installation of Stolpersteine (stumbling blocks) in front of the house, commemorating the lives lost during this dark chapter of history. Visitors to the Prager-Haus can engage with the rich cultural and social history of the Jewish community in Apolda and reflect on the impact of persecution and resistance during the Nazi era.
