My parents were religious. Every morning my father would put on tefillin, and Friday evenings and on Saturdays go to his shtiebel. All of his friends were at the shtiebel, and his community life revolved around the shtiebel. My father had a beard, but he was modern orthodox. You couldn’t tell from his clothing that he was very devout, and as the Nazis came to power in 1933, he immediately shaved his beard.
