"Tucked away on a crowded stretch of Orchard Street on #NewYork’s Lower East Side, there’s a #kosher #Italian #restaurant called Sweet Dreams Cafe. Inside, there’s a large-scale #painting that depicts the stuff of nightmares: a colorful #mural showing 2,000 years of tragedies that have befallen the #Jewish people.
The painting, created by Randy Settenbrino, an Orthodox Jewish artist who also owns the cafe, depicts horrors of Jewish history like the Babylonian exile, the auto-da-fés of the Spanish Inquisition and the deadly Nazi regime — including a section that honors his family members who were buried alive during the Holocaust."
