Cause of Death

Richard Cohen in By the Sword says she died of secondary spinal cancer resulting from primary breast cancer, not bone cancer as per the article. Can anybody clarify?

I see your reference. But look at this one .... http://209.85.165.104/search?q=cache:ExKJq3KiD54J:www.jewishmag.com/36MAG/olympic/olympic.htm+%22helene+mayer%22+cancer&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=10&gl=us ... perhaps best to simply change it to cancer?--Epeefleche 01:44, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

I agree, I'll edit to just cancer until I can get confirmation. Her biography is in my Amazon basket so we'll se what that says. Sorry I forgoy to sign my last comment Epeeist smudge 08:05, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Half-Jewish?

Was she half-Jewish? The article makes impression that she was completely Jewish while according other sources she was half-Jewish and half-German.--MathFacts (talk) 21:14, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

One can be both Jewish and German. See History of the Jews in Germany--Epeefleche (talk) 08:29, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

It's unclear - She clearly never considered herself Jewish, her mother wasn't Jewish and had no Jewish heritage, therefore it is difficult to understand the heavy emphasis in the article. Surely there's some requirement to self-identify? Little grape (talk)

Family members?

Who were the family members in labor camps?

What became of them? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:301:777C:C750:CD17:4F80:3064:4867 (talk) 03:24, 21 August 2018 (UTC)
