Grete Reiner, born Margarethe Stein, was a German-speaking Jewish translator and editor who lived in the villa of the Nad olšinami 672/4. She was born in Prague on December 7, 1891 and was murdered in the Auschwitz concentration camp in March 1944. She was married twice, first to the lawyer Oskar Straschnow, with whom she had a son named Kurt, and later to the press spokesman of the Austrian embassy, Karel Reiner, who was murdered in Auschwitz in 1943.

The building, which today houses the children's and youth clinic of the Královské Vinohrady Faculty Hospital, was home to a Jewish old people's home until 1942.

From June 21, 1940, the park-like grounds were made accessible to Jews as a substitute for the ban on visiting public parks. Only visitors with the J-Pass or the J-Kennkarte were allowed to enter the grounds.

Na Třebešíně 1423/18 housed a Jewish old people's home until 1942. The facility, which was managed by the Association for Jewish Nursing (Spolek pro židovskou péči o nemocné), was closed in connection with the deportations to Theresienstadt in 1942. The building is now used as a private residence.

Egon Erwin Kisch was born on April 29, 1885 in Prague in the house „Zu den zwei goldenen Bären“ at Melantrichova 475/16. He grew up there with his four brothers; his father Hermann Kisch's cloth shop was on the ground floor

In 1897, as a child, he experienced the infamous nationalist-motivated ‚December Storm‘, which began with an attack on German-speaking institutions, but then turned into anti-Semitic terror. Only the intervention of soldiers put a stop to the mob.

The origins of the hospital date back to 1888, when the Jewish community of Prague decided to establish a facility for sick and poor members. In 1908, the "Jubilee Foundation of Emperor Franz Joseph for the Sick" acquired the land, and in 1911 the building was erected in the classical modernist style according to the plans of architect Viktor Kafka.

During the Second World War, the site was converted into a Nazi labor camp for people from mixed marriages in 1943, where around 3,500 people were interned and forcibly used to process mica for the company Glimmer--Spalterei GmbH.

The buildings, which originally belonged to the Prague Burial Brotherhood, were the headquarters of several departments of the Jewish religious community. Among other things, the personnel office and the statistics office, the housing department and building administration, the social welfare department and the administration of Jewish social institutions were located here.

The sports organization Makabi Prague, founded in 1906, had a Zionist orientation. The gymnastics and sports movement supported the idea of a Jewish state in Palestine and wanted to prepare its members ideologically and physically for the national rebirth.Until 1942, its headquarters were in Křižovnická 1048/3, where young people of Jewish faith met and prepared for emigration to Palestine. In addition to ideological lessons, Hebrew was also taught.

The members took part in sports in various gyms and sports halls in the center of Prague. In 1942, Makabi Prague was banned.

Until 1942, Krakovská 1327/13 housed a Jewish old people's home, and from 1942 Depot No. 41, where confiscated Jewish property - furniture - was stored.

Today, the building houses accommodation for tourists and apartments.

In the interwar period, the Zionist associations and organizations in Techoslovakia were united under the umbrella of the Central Zionist Union (Ústřední sionistický svaz). Shortly after the occupation of the German Wehrmacht, all Zionist organizations had to cease their activities. These were now taken over by the Central Zionist Union – the Palästina Büro (Ústřední sionistický svaz – Palestinský úřad) – with a new organizational structure üover.
