by Anni Rephun Fruchter

Papa's favorite customers were the minor nobility and some princes. There was a time when Germany was home to dozens of kings, princes, barons. You could not go far in any direction without coming across a castle. Since he spoke a flawless German, Papa moved easily among the aristocracy. It was a satisfaction to him that they knew and respected him as an observant Jew who kept his cap or hat on in their presence.
