Prager house, Cultural heritage monument in Apolda, Germany.
The Prager house sits on a narrow street called Pragergasse and is a building that housed a Jewish family during a particular period of German history. A memorial plaque on the wall from 1988 marks the house and tells visitors about its significance.
Bernhard Prager and his family lived here before they were taken away during World War II. The house became a place to remember what happened to Jewish residents across the entire region.
The house today serves as a place to remember the Jewish community who lived in Apolda. Visitors can learn about the daily lives and stories of the families who made this neighborhood their home.
The house is located in the center of Apolda and easy to reach on foot. Visitors should plan time to walk around the narrow street and look at the informational displays both at the building and nearby.
Metal memorial stones called Stolpersteine were placed near the house in 2008 to mark where Jewish residents lived. These small brass plaques are part of a wider art project that honors people who were displaced.
