The pub operators, who have not invented a name, do not deny it continued to operate after the entry of Holocaust Day, they say, they could not tell the guests, who were holding bottles in their hands, to throw them out.
"I am aware of Holocaust Day," says the owner, "on that day I wanted to close the pub at five, but I do not know why on that day there were a lot of customers, more than any other day. I asked to close the bar and did not continue to sell, but what can I say to those who already bought a drink? I'll take the bottle and pour it? There were those who wanted to enter the pub and I stopped them."
Neighbors point out that a little after 21:00 pm, when they saw the pub continues to operate, they called the police who sent a patrol car, the cops ordered the owners to shut down the pub and turn away the party-goers.
