 Mitchell at the site of the former Golden Rose |

 |
 |
 remains of a mezuzah case in old town... |
 ...and another |
 ...and... |
 |
 |
 |
 the "Jewish Hospital" on Yakov Rappaport street |
 |
 still some stars visible here... |
 ...but covered here |
 the market behind the hospital, where there was once a Jewish cemetery |
 on Kotlyarska street... |
 ...where Sholem Aleichem once lived |
 a cafe on the same street, with old market signs |
 |
 inside the cafe, lots of memorabilia |
 |
 |
 at the memorial to the Lviv WW2 ghetto and deportation site |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 at the site of the Janowska concentration camp |
 |
 |
 near the old rynok, north of old town, a former Jewish library |
 a surviving synagogue building, now the Sholem Aleichem cultural center |
 today we visit when it is open...! |
 a discussion with the director |
 the space was a synagogue off and on, when permitted, before WWII |
 |
 |
 the library |
 a reading and class room |
 on Syanska street, in a part of town where there were several synagogues before the war |
 a memorial to one of the 'suburban' synagogues |
 now there is a park there |
 and another site has become a market |
 and the old rynok square marks another former synagogue site... |
 ...and another memorial plaque |
 from a book on the old synagogues of Lviv |
 looking back over the site |
 a market on Kulisha street... |
 ...with some pretty good-looking stuff |
 more old signs in the neighborhood |
 |
 |
 Alex F. on Tyktora street... |
 ...and with Mitchell, reading script on Nalyvaika street |
 meanwhile, on the corner, some facade work has uncovered old Jewish market signs... |
 scraping the Soviet-era stucco off reveals the original surfaces |
 now the repairs begin... |
 |
 it's like a time capsule from between the wars |
 but a week later the signs are covered with new stucco |
 |
 ...and a week after that, we see from the tram that the walls are being painted |
 at the one working synagogue, west of downtown |
 |
 at the post-war cemetery, the Jewish section entrance on Yeroshenka street |
 these graves date mostly from Soviet years after WW2 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 a few include memorials to family members lost in the war years |
 |
 some relics at the museum of religions |
