Life

Aloisia Veit came from the Schicklgruber line, her paternal great-grandmother Josepha Schicklgruber and Adolf Hitler's paternal grandmother Maria Anna Schicklgruber were sisters. She was employed as a housemaid. Because of “conspicuous behavior” she was admitted to the Am Steinhof institution in Vienna on January 26, 1932 , where she spent nine years in closed wards. According to her patient record , she suffered from "schizophrenic mental disorder, with perplexity and depression, confusion, hallucinations and delusions".

On November 28, 1940, she was transported to the Vienna municipal sanatorium and nursing home in Ybbs on the Danube and from there on December 6, 1940, to the Nazi killing center in Hartheim , where she was murdered in the gas chamber there .

The American historian Timothy W. Ryback , who lives in Salzburg, and the private researcher Florian M. Beierl have been researching the fate of Aloisia Veit in collaboration with the Munich forensic doctor Wolfgang Eisenmenger since August 2004. They published their document finds in 2005.
