My grandfather married Regina Rosenberg, born in 1857, a girl from a wealthy Jewish family. My grandfather bought a house in a central street of Budapest. They were wealthy. My grandmother had housemaids and their children had nannies and governesses.
As far as I can judge from the photographs of my grandmother that I saw in my childhood and that, regretfully, have not been kept, my father’s was a secular family. My grandmother wore fancy gowns and had nice hairdos made on her thick long dark hair. Judging from my father, his parents did not honor religion or Jewish traditions. At least, when I knew my father, he was a convinced atheist.
