Seeking information on Alois MUNK

It's a while since I posted on this NG. I hope I get better luck than last time!

Alois MUNKk was my Grandfather. He was born in Feb 1876 in Krumlov Moravsky.
His parents were Joachim Munk and Helene Singer. They are buried in Brno.
He had two siblings, Adolf and Edmund, also buried in Brno.
He married my Grandmother Paula FRANK in 1909 but divorced her in 1921,
the same year my mother, Teresa Munk (later Teresa WEINBERG), was born.

Alois was the editor of several newspapers in Vienna and wrote many articles
mostly about the theatre at that time. I believe he later moved to Germany.

He later married a Margarethe SEDLITZ and I believe they had a daughter,
Lotte, together in 1925.
I believe Alois perished in Riga.

If anyone has more information on Alois or any of his family, please do
contact me.

Thanks
Peter Wells

Dear Peter ,

the "Book of Remembrance: The German, Austrian and Czechoslovakian Jews
deported to the Baltic States" published by Saur Publishers in Muenchen
2003 has an entry for Alois MUNK on page 617:

Munk, Alois
born 10.02.1876 in Maehrisch-Kromau, then Austria
Last address: Hamburg, Kielortallee 13

There is no other MUNK on this transport, but a Samuel MUNK, 23-Mar-1861
in Altona is mentioned in the Hamburg Book as having been deported to
Theresienstadt in 1942, where he died on 31-Jan-1943, possibly a relative?
According to the data in this book and also in the book "Hamburger
juedische Opfer des Nationalsozialismus: Gedenkbuch", published by the
Hamburg State Archiv in 1995, Alois Munk was deported from Hamburg to
Riga, altogether at least 726 Hamburg victims, on 06-Dec-1941.

The Book of Remembrance also details what happened to the deportees
after their arrival.

There is a problem finding out about his fate,  because I am not sure
about this citizenship. This may not have mattered to the Gestapo
bureaucrats who compiled the deportation list, but I could not find
Alois' name in the Austrian, Czech or German victims' listings, nor in
the USHMM data, because, I assume, each of the countries thinks that he
was not their citizen ... I would like to inform them to add him to
their list, but I am not sure which passport he held ... Possibly there
is more information in Hamburg?

I hope that helps nevertheless
