Death[edit]

By 1987, she was apparently being described as her husband's "late" wife, but I can't access the full article to see if there is a date of death. This article (for someone who has access) may also have a death year. —Luis (talk) 16:42, 5 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

VIAF and this ABEbooks entry think she was born 1909, and ABE thinks she died 1987. —Luis (talk) 16:52, 5 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Found a cite for the date of death, still nothing for date of birth (though 1909 seems plausible given that she entered medical school at the same time as her husband, who was born in 1908). —Luis (talk) 18:28, 5 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Nationality[edit]

Her husband is repeatedly described as Polish in testimonials about him, and they funded a scholarship in Krakow for Polish students in Cambridge, per the (uncited) German and Polish wikipedias. This 1938 article also describes her as Polish, c. 1938. Suspect maybe (as Poland did not exist as a separate nation-state at the time of her birth) she was "born in Germany" but considered herself Polish post-WWI? —Luis (talk) 16:42, 5 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Corrected this in the article, based on an obituary of her husband. Would love to have a citation for the scholarships, though. —Luis (talk) 18:29, 5 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
