Tag #155089 - Interview #103673 (Ladislav Roth Biography)

There was one Jewish employee there and they could employ me. I worked in a big hall. One of newly appointed officials, a fascist, often came for dinner there and he always demanded to be waited on by a non-Jew sending me away. There was another hall for Jews in the Korona restaurant. It used to be a banquet hall, but when persecution of Jews began they made it a hall for Jewish visitors to avoid conflicts.  There was one Jew working there. His name was Borukh Leibush and when there were too many visitors, it was difficult to wait on all of them. There were complaints. I had hard feeling after each visit of this official and asked senior waiter to let me work with Borukh in the hall for Jewish visitors. This hall was 4-5 times smaller than the others, but it brought ten times more income.  
 
Jews had a feeling that there was nothing good for them to expect and spent their money lavishly.  The Jewish hall was always full, they ordered expensive dishes and gave big tips.  It turned out that it was very profitable to work in the Jewish hall.
