Mérleg - Scale
A második világháború után a berendezkedő kommunista rendszer a magántulajdon felszámolására irányuló törekvéseivel megszüntette a kisipart és kiskereskedelmet is. Néhány „maszek” étterem és cukrászda mégis működhetett, így a legendás kóser Frölich cukrászda a Dob utca 22–ben, a hajdani Weiss pékség helyén. Fröhlich György Englender nevű barátjával 1953-ban nyitotta meg kóser cukrászdáját, majd miután Englender 1956-ban Bécsbe távozott, Gyuri bácsi egyedül vitte az üzletet. A kiállított mérleg a kóser flódni és barhesz nyomai mellett ennek a nehéz korszaknak az emlékét őrzi.
After the 2nd World War the communist regime (starting in the years of the fake-coalition) slowly nationalized the workshops of the artisans and shops of the retail dealers. Only a few could stay privately owned, mostly restaurants and bakeries. One of them was the legendary kosher bakery of the Frölich family in Dob street 22 (taken the place from the Weiss bakery.) Originally György (George) Fröhlich had opened the bakery with his friend Englender in 1953, and when he moved to Vienna, ‘Uncle Gyuri’ was running the business on his own. Beside some crumbs and pieces from the ‘flódni’ cake and barches, the scale bears the traces of the troublesome years of communism as well.
