[LEN-E] Leni died of cancer?

[Ron Koster]

Hi folks!

I've been out-of-the-loop for a while now, I know, but I came across 
something the other day that left me wondering...

The web site for United States Holocaust Memorial Museum has a 
one-page biography of Leni at...

http://www.ushmm.org/wlc/article.php?lang=en&ModuleId=10007410

...which concludes with "She died of cancer in Pocking, Germany, on 
September 8, 2003, a few weeks after her 101st birthday."

That's the first I've heard/read that she died of *cancer* -- the 
only thing I've heard before is Horst's comments to the press that 
"Her heart just stopped" (or words to that effect).

Has anyone else heard anything about her having passed away due to 
cancer -- and, if so, what type of cancer was it? Any additional 
details would be of interest, too, of course.

Ron :?
