Georg Iggers on the traces of his childhood. Former site of the Bornplatz Synagogue in Hamburg. (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bornplatzsynagoge)
“That was, of course, the main synagogue in Hamburg. I then naturally went here with my uncle, who was Orthodox. And I became Orthodox myself, so also as a reaction against my parents. They were religious and, by the way, they also went to Bornplatz Synagogue when they went to synagogue, so they were “two-day Jews” in many respects. So you went to synagogue on Rosh Ha-Shuna, the Jewish New Year, and on Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, and my rebellion against my parents had something to do with their bourgeoisie, and also with their lukewarm religion, And then I also became a Zionist. I am not a Zionist today, I am no longer Orthodox either.”
