The Stolpersteine in the Ústí nad Labem Region lists the Stolpersteine in the Ústí nad Labem Region in the north-west of the Czech Republic. 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.

His second wife Katharina (married Bloch, born Bruml) had two daughters from her first marriage. The younger one remained with the father (Viktor Hahn had assisted during her birth in 1921). Around 1938, the family moved to Brno. His son Heinz emigrated to England in 1938, originally to learn the language, but remained there. Also Viktor and Katerina were preparing for emigration and learned English. They wanted to emigrate to the USA via England. Relatives in the USA had already procured affidavits for the couple and the two daughters. Hannerl already had all the necessary papers, but Marietta was not yet 18, so the family waited. After the German occupation and destruction of Czechoslovakia, the Hahns had to live with the commander of the Gestapo under one roof. He originally wanted to occupy the entire house, but then contented himself with one floor. One month later, Viktor Hahn and his family moved to Prague, where they lived with Katerina's mother and Viktor's father, Robert. In December 1941, Victor's father died. Also his mother-in-law died. The family had to leave the apartment in the Pod Klaudiánkou and move to a "Jewish apartment" in Pařížská where they lived together with four other families. Their space was so small, there was only room for one bed. On 11 December, Viktor, his wife and the two daughters had to go to a meeting place in Veletržní palác. From there they were deported on 14 December 1941 by transport M (Viktor's number on the transport was 565) from Prague to Theresienstadt concentration camp. There Viktor Hahn practiced as a doctor for the inmates. Because of this, he was able to get his family into his barracks. Furthermore, he was on a protection list and also his family was protected for a short period. After Viktor looked at a lock in the Elbe, he and Katerina were placed on a transport list. The two daughters volunteered to join their parents. On 23 October 1944, the family was deported to Auschwitz concentration camp with transport Et (Viktor's number on the transport was 1183).

Marietta Smolková later sold this house because she could not afford renovation. Two further houses, originally belonging to the Hahn family, had not been restored by 2005.[16] | |

Both daughters had already found jobs in a Jewish house in London (one as a maid, the other one as a cook). Hannerl already had all the necessary papers, but Marietta was not yet 18, so the family waited.
