DescriptionPhoto of Irene (left), Meta (middle) and Siegmund Boehm (right) in Carlsbad, Czechoslovakia. The photo was printed as a postcard, with an inscription of Carlsbad on the left: “Karlsbad macht Dich gesund!” (“Karlsbad restores your health!”)

In 1935, Siegmund was diagnosed with cancer, and spent his last year in the spa town of Carlsbad, Czechoslovakia. In 1936, Siegmund died, and his widow Meta moved back to Berlin.
