The other, and perhaps even more important fact in Freundlich's mind, was that his wife's sister had died early in 1933 and Freundlich and his wife had become the guardians of his sister-in-law's two young children Hans and Renate (who of course were also Jewish).
Ang iba pang, at marahil kahit na mas mahalaga sa katunayan Freundlich ng isip, ay na ang kanyang asawa ng kapatid na babae ay namatay sa maagang bahagi ng 1933 at Freundlich at kanyang asawa na maging ang mga guardians ng kanyang mga kapatid na babae-in-law ng dalawang bata Hans at Renate (na ng kurso ay din Jewish).
