Kuczki

Radom kuczki hidden in the tenement backyards at 66 Żeromskiego and 21 Moniuszki Streets. These are wooden summer porches located at the level of balconies, which were connected with the celebration of Jewish Sukkot holiday, during which orthodox Jews had to live outside their homes in the sukkot or tent.

A. Mentlik

Inside the backyard, on the eastern elevation of the tenement house at 1 Wałowa Street, there is a Yiddish advertising board of a hotel and a kosher restaurant of Abram Mentlik. The sign was painted directly on the wall. The sign advertising the restaurant and hotel was created in the interwar period. In English it means “Merchant Hotel/A. Mentlik/ (graphical presentation of a palm with a finger directed upward, i.e. the topographic sign of “maniculum”) Floor 1”. Below the Polish phrase, there is the same content in Yiddish written with Hebrew alphabet letters. It is well-known that Abram Mentlik operated his merchant hotel and restaurant already in 1932. Jews lived in that area already in the 18th century and the ghetto located there covered the site of the Jewish district.
