Zamenhof Esperanto Memorials-Objects-Stamps World-wide


This site gives you photos of hundreds of postage stamps from most countries of the world commemorating famous Esperanto speakers, the language or the founder of the movement, Zamenhof.

This is a modest sampling of streets named after L.L.Zamenhoff or Esperanto. A decade ago a paper book on the subject was published. There were over a thousand Zamenhoff-Esperanto Objects or ZEO's. If you click on the city link you will see the picture of the street sign, monument or building.


In Hungary some 210 streets and monuments are named after a 100 leading hungarian Esperanto-speakers. In many cases the monument or street sign will be bilingual


Henri Masson built the following slide-show:

This picture is probably from the early years of its existence (1930's)
The Zamenhof Street sign is used at one of the Facebook Groups on Zamenhof:
Several of these lightable signs were placed before the World Esperanto Conference of Tel Aviv, 2000.

An article about the neighborhood around Zamenhof St., Tel Aviv, Israel. I commented there.
La artikolo cxefe traktas la valorajn domojn/maklerajxon de la strato sed ankau' priskribas la laboron de L.L.Zamenhof.

In 2013, after my trip to Israel, I found this, regarding the demolished Zamenhof Clinic. Will part be renovated?
