He would die in Dade, Florida, USA in 1994 at the age of 79. The only other thing known about Else is that she was one of the many German Jews who had her German nationality annulled by the Nazis due to the Nuremberg laws of 1935. These laws deprived ethnic Jews of their political rights and prohibited them from marrying those of German blood.
