Hedwig's death was reported by Georg Redlich of Berlin, Starnbergerstrasse 3. Two years later Georg reported the death of Georg Moritz Birnbaum, born in Sagan on 04/01/1882, son of Eugen Birnbaum and Selma Birnbaum geb. Wiener. Selma's 1934 death certificate describes her as the widow Selma Birnbaum geb. Wiener, born in Sagan, indicating that she was not a first wife of Hedwig's husband. The relationship (if any) between the two Birnbaum families for who Georg Redlich reported deaths remains unknown: "widow" implies that Selma's marriage to Eugen ended with Eugen's death, not a divorce, but Hedwig's husband Eugen was married to Hedwig at his death, so the two Eugens must be different people.
