Memorial to the Victims of Communism, Bronze memorial at Petřín hill in Prague, Czech Republic
The memorial displays seven bronze figures descending stairs, with each figure showing signs of physical deterioration. Some figures are damaged or missing body parts, visually representing the extent of suffering.
The memorial was unveiled in 2002, commemorating the communist period from 1948 to 1989. Its installation marked an important moment in public remembrance of this historical era.
The bronze figures were created by sculptor Olbram Zoubek to represent the suffering of people under communist rule. Visitors often pause to examine each figure closely and reflect on the stories they tell.
The memorial is located at the intersection of Újezd and Vítězná streets near Petřín hill in Malá Strana. The site is easily accessible on foot and close to public transportation options.
One of the bronze figures was damaged in an explosion in 2003, but the damage was intentionally left unrepaired. This makes the memorial itself a testament to resilience beyond its intended message.
