Moritz Dobrin (1872-1951) arrived in the booming Reich capital from East Prussia as a young man and quickly expanded after opening his first café at Alexanderstraße 14c. He advertised in the Jewish press and also explicitly addressed a Jewish clientele who bought kosher products. Thus the barches, the yeast pastries available in his stores on Fridays for Shabbat and holidays, or matzos for Passover. His cafes and stores offered a wide selection of the most delicious pastries and desserts - a price list, a copy of which has been preserved in the Jewish Museum Berlin, lists them all!

A boy who üsurvived.
