Memorial to the Victims of Communism

Prague, Czech Republic view map

Located at the base of Petrin Hill on Ujezd Street in Mala Strana is this disturbing series of statues dedicated to the victims of the Communist era between 1948-1989. A original total of seven (two were damaged due to a bomb in 2003) male statues appear to be disintegrating and decaying before our very eyes.

Make sure you view the pictures in *original* size for the sharpest image (see size-options under each photo)!


other sizes: small medium large original auto

A very disturbing memorial.

A moving display of statues that show the front whole man and only part of a man left in the last statue. The second appears to be ripped apart! V
