The Stolpersteine in Tišnov lists the Stolpersteine in the town Tišnov (Czech pronunciation: [ˈcɪʃnof]; German: Tischnowitz, Brno-Country District) in the South Moravian Region (Czech: Jihomoravský 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 lists are sortable; the basic order follows the alphabet according to the last name of the victim.

He learned easily, brought home a lot of A-grades and could achieve a High School diploma. He had no chance to study as the Nazi regime had closed down all universities in Bohemia and Moravia. From 8 October 1941 till 1 March 1943 he was interred in a Umerziehungslager, a reeducation camp, in Lípa, Havlíčkův Brod District. There, about 300 Jewish men, aged 18 to 25, performed forced labor in agriculture, in constructing railroads or in snow removal. It was a form of concentration camp but had no fences. Due to their work in the fields, the inmates had enough food and in the evenings and in the wintertime they engaged in a series of cultural events, even presenting theatrical performances. In a cast list of Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream the name J. Stransky is mentioned, but it has not yet been clarified if he or an inmate named Jan Stransky from Prague was the actor in this performance. During his stay in Lípa, in April 1942, both his father and his brother were first deported to Theresienstadt concentration camp and then to Izbica Ghetto, where both were murdered. Also, Jiří Stránský was deported to Theresienstadt and was kept there for more than a year. On 15 May 1944 he was deported to Auschwitz concentration camp, but was then transferred to Schwarzheide in the very south of Brandenburg. There the Germans needed strong men to produce gasoline and diesel fuel from lignite coal. About 1,000 Czech Jews were forced to work there and about 800 of them lost their lives. Among them was Jiří Stránský who died on 29 October 1944. |
