Remarks

1. ↑ The Beautification Association in Znojmo ( Okrašlovací spolek ve Znojmě ), which initiated the laying of the stone, states that he was deported with his mother to the Theresienstadt concentration camp , where his trace is lost (compare okraspol.sweb.cz / ... ). In the short report of the radio station Radio Praha on July 28, 2016 about the laying of the stone, it is noted that he apparently tried to escape with his mother via Slovakia and Hungary before the threatened deportation to the concentration camp (compare radio.cz / ... ).
2. ↑ Compare the note on her son Georg Alexander Weinberger.
