Death

[edit]

Can someone please add a reference to show that he is dead -- Racklever (talk) 09:15, 19 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The announcement was in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung on Tuesday, 17 January, p. 31. I knew it before from his son, Gabriel Dessauer, also have a pdf of the announcement. The funeral is on 23 January. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:24, 19 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Ref added, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:55, 20 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

wondering...

[edit]
  • In the lead/lede it says: He was a member of the Rotary Club from 1957. As a founding member of the Rotary Club of Aschaffenburg in 1958, he was awarded honorary membership of the club on the occasion of its 50th anniversary. ... from 1957 until when? .. his death? and if the club wasn't "founded" until 1958, how was he a member in 1957?
He was a member of the Rotary Club (in general), beginning in the Würzburg section in 1957. He was instrumental in creating an Aschaffenburg section in 1958. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:57, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • They lived in Tutzing, where he died.[4] seems a bit awkward - let me think on that a bit.
Improvement most welcome! I don't know since when they lived there, but as long as I knew them. He died at his home. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:57, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • In reference number 8: ^ "Kleine Ekstasen in Alte Galerie in Graz" (in englisch). should the spelling be English?
It's the spelling in the headline of the source, which refers to the German title of an exhibition "Kleine Ekstasen" in (part of) a Museum with a German name "Alte Galerie". Even at the time of the exhibition it was found under these names. As much as I go for translations - please see Horst Janssen and improve - in this case I don't think it would help in the reference. The translations are in the body. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:57, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

note: I don't speak German, so I'm not sure how much help I can be, but I will try. — Ched :  ?  16:37, 20 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for helpful comments, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:57, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Jewish ancestors?

[edit]

This is what the source says:

  • Der geschichtsinteressierte Neffe Friedrich Dessauers bedauert, in der Schule nicht auch Hebräisch belegt zu haben. Von den jüdischen Vorfahren der Familie sei eine ganze Reihe Briefe erhalten, die er gern entziffert hätte.

I understand that to say that Desssauer, the nephew of Friedrich Dessauer, was interested in history and regretted that he didn't also learn Hebrew in school. It then expands on that by stating that a whole series of letters were (had been?) received from the Jewish ancestors of the family that he would have liked to decypher.

Can someone check my understanding of that passage, please. I'm not 100% certain that "Vorfahren" is best translated by "ancestors" here - is the sense perhaps that of "forebears" or "antecedents", i.e. somewhere in a more distant past? If so, can we with any certainty assume that Dessauer identified as being of Jewish descent? (which I believe is a pre-requisite for categorising subjects into Category:German people of Jewish descent). --RexxS (talk) 21:13, 25 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I know that he was aware of Jewish ancestors and made no secret of it, but don't know in which past. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:17, 25 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
