Refugee death haunting a displaced family story
A German refugee family seeking a new life in the United States faced upheaval after the husband Albert Aaron, a 53-year-old attorney from Gilsse, Germany, hanged himself in his Kew Gardens apartment following his wife’s death by sleeping tablet overdose. He left a note for his sons Daniel and Frank, aged 14 and 11, saying he would join their mother, while neighbors noted the family’s recent struggles after arriving on a six month visitor’s pass and salvaging $7000. The article references broader wartime refugee pain and a separate remark about a royal child’s London outings attended with a detective guard.
