Café Aschermann Prague - from 1940 Café Radó

At Dlouhá 727/41 was the Café Aschermann, which was renamed Café Radó after its owner emigrated to Palestine. It was the last café in Prague that Jews were allowed to visit until the fall of 1943. It later became a casino for SS officers.

The Café Aschermann was an important meeting place for the Jewish community in Prague in the 1930s, especially during the Nazi occupation. It was closely associated with the Jewish religious community. Several institutions were based in this building, including the employment office, the Palestine office and the Zionist organizations Keren Kajemet (Jewish National Fund) and the Keren Hayesod support organization founded in response to the London Belfour Declaration. This alliance made the Café a center for cultural and political exchange within the Jewish community. The last managing director of the Café was Armin Radó, who was murdered in the Sobibor extermination camp in 1942.
