Except: The history of this antiquarian bookshop begun in 1847 on the Jewish street in Bratislava, then Pressburg. A poor Jewish widow Josephine Bendiner, né Künich, started with selling and borrowing books her brother brought her from Vienna.(Submitted on January 2, 2023.)Josephine got remarried and her new husband Sigmund Steiner took over the business. The antiquarian bookshop moved to the city center after the Jews were finally allowed to move there. The Steiner family managed the bookstore for almost a century when the store was aryanized by popular writer Ľudo Ondrejov. For a short time, the Steiners worked for him. However when the deportation started, Ondrejov reported them to the authorities as useless. 16 members of the family was murdered in concentration camps. The Steiner tradition continues with the bookshop reopened only in 1991 by Selma Steiner and a new owner. Nothing remained saved from the original bookshop.…Photographed by Andrew Ruppenstein, November 12, 20222. Antikvariát Steiner / Antiquarian Bookstore Steiner Marker - wide view
