beard

MORDECAI BOIM (BAUM), YOZEF'S SON. He was stabbed through the cheeks in the pogrom. They had to cut off his beard in the hospital. He kept the beard in a religious book. On the way to America, he and his youngest son waited in Poland for eight months for a visa from America. When he received the visa, he became sick and died in Volomin, Poland. Between his old books that the youngster brought with him, I found a book tied with string. I untied the book with trembling hands and found the shorn beard in the book.
