Dear Christian, Dear Stephen, and dear Czernowitzers,

Two years ago I went with Christian and some friends to the "Golden Rose" cafe.
I was so shocked by the experience that I was speechless.
The menu we were given on entering, contained no prices. Now I do not remember clearly,
Whether I noticed this immediately or not. I certainly noticed, that when we asked
the waitress how much we had to pay, she said that we should bargain over the price.
So what is one to conclude? Jews are dishonest, try to take financial advantage of others.
And what am I to conclude?

Attaching a cafe to the only remaining wall of an old synagogue which was destroyed
Precisely because it was Jewish, is, to say the least, an act of Barbarity. Would the Polish government have allowed the remains of a church to be desecrated in a similar manner?

What a great business Ploy! A cafe in the ruins of a synagogue! Attractive for different reasons
to both Jews and Anti Semites!

Oh! I almost forgot; every guest to the cafe is given a piece of Matzah (the mysterious Jewish bread which contains the blood of Christian children)

On the other hand; Is it possible that the ground on which the synagogue once stood,
Was returned to its rightful owners, the Jewish community of Lvov, who sold it
with the remaining wall to a cafe owner? Not impossible.

On one hand they provide information about the Golden Rose - they have a well done reconstruction model - on the other hand they spread stereotypes. Because it appears as a Jewish restaurant you have to bargain with the waiter for the price of your dishes.
