Ernst in 1920 (before the marriage to Leopoldine?) baptized Roman Catholic. Leopoldine was a not Jewish German, born in Bohemia. Leopoldine and Ernst were divorced 1939. Leopoldine got as German from the Nazi government 1940 German citizenship. That all you can read in the documents on the website holocaust.cz.

Possibly Leopoldine was expelled by the Czechs after the war as German to Germany, or Austria. Alexander and Hildegard were probably as "Mischlinge" only in the last months of the war in a working camp and survived.

Interesting is the fact that Leopoldine died on 5/3/1979 and was only buried on 4/17/1980. Perhaps she died on a trip abroad (in Australia?) and the corpse had to be returned? That would mean that she had family in Salzburg. Perhaps Hildegard lives in Salzburg?
