Bereaved families, scholars, and Prague community members gathered in Jan Palach Square a few days ago to honor the victims of Czechia’s deadliest shooting at Charles University’s Faculty of Arts in 2023. At the ceremony the group Spojeni nadějí (United by Hope) and university officials unveiled a plaque engraved with the victims’ names. The plaque, whose addition comes after grieving families requested it, stands next to the three-meter-high stone memorial sculpture established in June 2024.
The plaque lists the names of the 14 students and staff members who lost their lives on December 21, 2023, after a 24-year-old student went on a shooting spree inside the faculty.
