Notes

Moses's sister
Contact person for Moses in Ludwigsburg prison
Josef's 1946 letter: 'Aunt Klara was together with your dear father' — confirms link to Kaufmann family and recipient's father
Geni.com lists husband as 'Herman Kaufmann' — existing JSON has 'Jacob Kaufmann'. Discrepancy needs verification against primary sources.
