His death certificate, written long after the event, places his birth in Brockau, Vogtland. I believe this is an error, as his father is listed in the Breslau synagogue community address list (ca 1930) in Brockau (Breslau). This is confirmed by his 1936 marriage certifcate, which gives his place of birth as "Brockau, Kreis Breslau".
