Abstract:
Edward Frankel tells about his grandfather Justin Frankel who was born in Obbach (Lower Franconia) in 1896. He was a teacher in Erlangen until his dismissal by the Nazis in 1933. In 1937, he was briefly arrested and accused of having committed a ritual murder in 1929. In 1938 the family immigrated to the USA. In the second part, Edwin Frankel depicts immigrant life in Avondale (Ohio) where his grandfather founded an orthodox German-Jewish congregation and worked as a ritual slaughterer.
