Bazelio Levino ir Ruvelio Videckio namai Molėtuose

Vilniaus g. 37, Molėtai

On the other side of the street from the historical red brick commercial building (Vilniaus str. 42) there are two separate houses, which reminds us of the daily history of Molėtai Jews during the interwar period. In these two buildings (Vilniaus str. 37 and 39)  Ruvelis Videckis had his barbershop and Bazelis Levinas owned a small grocery store. Houses were built at the beginning of the 20th century and once housed two Jewish families. Just like many other Jewish families, these families worked in the same space, where they lived. Ruvelis Videckis, who lived at this house, had a barber‘s shop, where all men of Molėtai came to freshen their looks.

His neighbor Bazelis Levinas had a small grocery store where he sold different things, according to the demand and season: from fabrics to apples. The exterior of these buildings in Molėtai city center remains almost the same, although the interior experienced many reconstructions made by people who later settled in these buildings.
