During the ceremony, a relative noted they were there because of Max and Edith’s sacrifice. The fate of their son, Hermann Pollnow (familiarly “Mutzi”; in Australia he was strongly encouraged to anglicise his name to Harry Peters), is the subject of his granddaughter Tess Scholfield-Peters’ semi-fictional book.

Dorothy Dandridge was one of Hollywood’s first Black sex symbols and the first black actress to be nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress. Around 1930, Dandridge relocated to Los Angeles, California, with her family. A few years later she found success with her new musical group, the Dandridge Sisters, which included sister Vivian and their friend Etta Jones. The group landed gigs at the famous Cotton Club in Harlem and performed with top acts such as the Jimmie Lunceford Orchestra and Cab Calloway. As an African American singer, Dandridge confronted early on the segregation and racism of the entertainment industry. She may have been allowed on stage, but in some venues, she couldn't eat in the restaurant or use certain facilities because of the color of her skin."
