American contralto Baroness Adrienne von Kraus-Osborne Waltraute (nee Eisbein) of Buffalo, NY, USA died 15 June 1951 in Austria. Her former husband Baron Felix von Kraus predeceased her.
She studied with Auguste Gotze (Leipzig) and Felix von Kraus, whom she wed in 1899. Her debut (1893) was in Leipzig, Germany - a city rich in culure, music and the arts - home to Johann S. Bach for years until his death and many other artists.
The Baroness had gained popularity and wealth and the escalation of German aggression leading up to WWII threatened her estate - it would be seized by the government unless she could prove she (her birth mother) was not of Jewish decent.
