Description

This mural brings to life the atmosphere of pre-war Łódź and its colourful, yet dark, underworld. The inscription “Kokolewole” refers to a former pub run by Icek Leipciger, a popular meeting place for the local underworld. One of its well-known visitors was Menachem Bornsztajn, better known as Blind Max (Ślepy Maks), a notorious gangster who became one of the city's most legendary and controversial figures. Sometimes portrayed as the Jewish Al Capone or the Robin Hood of Bałuty, his story blends historical facts with urban legends and remains an intriguing part of Łódź's history.
