In the lead/lede it says: He was a member of the Rotary Club from 1957. As a founding member of the Rotary Club of Aschaffenburg in 1958, he was awarded honorary membership of the club on the occasion of its 50th anniversary. ... from 1957 until when? .. his death? and if the club wasn't "founded" until 1958, how was he a member in 1957?
He was a member of the Rotary Club (in general), beginning in the Würzburg section in 1957. He was instrumental in creating an Aschaffenburg section in 1958. --

They lived in Tutzing, where he died.[4] seems a bit awkward - let me think on that a bit.
In reference number 8: ^ "Kleine Ekstasen in Alte Galerie in Graz" (in englisch). should the spelling be English?
It's the spelling in the headline of the source, which refers to the German title of an exhibition "Kleine Ekstasen" in (part of) a Museum with a German name "Alte Galerie". Even at the time of the exhibition it was found under these names. As much as I go for translations - please see
Horst Janssen and improve - in this case I don't think it would help in the reference. The translations are in the body. --

Der geschichtsinteressierte Neffe Friedrich Dessauers bedauert, in der Schule nicht auch Hebräisch belegt zu haben. Von den jüdischen Vorfahren der Familie sei eine ganze Reihe Briefe erhalten, die er gern entziffert hätte.
I understand that to say that Desssauer, the nephew of Friedrich Dessauer, was interested in history and regretted that he didn't also learn Hebrew in school. It then expands on that by stating that a whole series of letters were (had been?) received from the Jewish ancestors of the family that he would have liked to decypher.
Can someone check my understanding of that passage, please. I'm not 100% certain that "Vorfahren" is best translated by "ancestors" here - is the sense perhaps that of "forebears" or "antecedents", i.e. somewhere in a more distant past? If so, can we with any certainty assume that Dessauer identified as being of Jewish descent? (which I believe is a pre-requisite for categorising subjects into
Category:German people of Jewish descent). --
