The store itself is not Jewish. But the Heller family had the largest candy factory in Austria. They ran away from the Nazis. Before they left, they took the candy making book with them. One of the descendants of the family came to the store several years ago and gave the book to the Austrian owners of the store to give it a new life. The Austrian owners of the store were very grateful and even displayed copies of the book in the shop window.
Extremely recommend spending two hours in Vienna with guide Tom. He tells the stories of the city and its history in the short, interesting and elegant way. The trip starts from Stephan Platz, passes through the streets of Graben, the Jewish quarter, Am Hof and ends at Ferstel Palace and the Mekler cellar.
