Orthodox butcher



This used to be the orthodox butcher.
I know that some people occupied this building for a while. There was even a movie about it... I dont understand why someone needed to spray the script: Orthodox butcher... who could have done it? The municiaplity? Or the people who moved out? It looks like the metaphor of the district - there is Jewish contect behind the layers, its still visible, but it is on the edge of complete disappearance. Of course there are new, alive phenomena, as well, but this house is really touching. Today, it is covered by a huge net. It stands empty since several years and decaying from day to day. The Jewish butcher family who lived here for several generations needed to move out, the the old butcher, Kővári has died not long after he was forced out of his place. And for what was it necessary?
