1272. Victor Adolf DE DIRSZTAY
from de Dirsztay tree on www.barrow-lousada.org ref 31 but information on Viktor’s birth is contradictory - ref 342 gives birth in Budapest not Debrecen and notes date shifts between 1883 and 1889. The Vienna Stadt- und Landesarchiv refers to four different dates, first of all, 13 June 1884.8 It must also remain unclear whether Viktor grew up with his natural father or with his mother.9 What is certain is
that he had a sister Charlotte (1883–1942, who married De Menasce) and a
brother Franz (1888–1956) who was later also active as a writer (Dirsztay,
F., 1919, 1923, 1924, 1930); some sources also mention a further brother,
Andreas. Ref 342 adds Franz v. Dirsztay was adopted by Ladislaus (Kempelen, 1910, p. 33); hence he originates neither from a former marriage of Georgine Plaut nor from her premarital relationship with Ladislaus. Arthur Schnitzler mentions Franz v. Dirsztay in 1913 and 1928 in his diaries (Schnitzler, 1983, pp. 56–7, 70, 100; 1997, p. 119). Andreas (Ando´r) Dirsztay (1894–1944) is identified on the Plaut family internet site as the son of Georgine Plaut and Ladislaus v. Dirsztay (p. 11; accessed 9.12.2007). He died in Auschwitz
(Dokumentationsarchiv des o¨sterreichischen Widerstands [http://de.doew.braintrust.at/
m17sm147.html; accessed 4.12.2007])Also from ref 342: Freud himself, whom he consulted for years, could not heal him, for his disease came from his contempt of his family. [...] He suffered from world-weariness. I became aware of this when, from the upper floor of the palace in the aristocratic diplomatic district of Vienna where the family lived, Dirsztay mockingly pointed out a bundle of dirty washing left casually lying on the magnificent main staircase. On the ground floor, through the open door of the family drawing room, one could see fat bodies in underwear making a noise,
playing cards and drinking. That was what he thought of his family: an
underworld. I understood his deep disgust with such a shameless exhibition of
vulgarity; he was the prodigal son. (Kokoschka, 1971, p. 91)Ref 342 gives date of joint suicide with his ex-wife (they were divorced after 6 years of marriage)
death date from de Dirsztay tree unclear
Lvov = Lemberg
birthdate from ref 342
they were on good terms after their divorce but she became ill in the period before the joint suicide
Marriage Notes for Victor Adolf de Dirsztay and Klara UNREICH
date from ref 342 also divorced 1930
marriage seems to have been in Vienna before a period n Budapest Mar-Junref 342 gives no hint of a 1st marriage (to Ilona de Losada as per ref 31 or anyone else)
source ref 31
deduced to be from 1st marriage of father because of advanced age of 2nd wife! Also she married a relative of her Menasche grandmotherknown as Charlotte here https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/17597654/andorandreas-baron_von-dirsztay

French composer - but there may be confusion with Jean de Menasche 1902-73 an author, lawyer, theologian and priest who was at Oxford with Graham Greene - they were no doubt relatedfrom ref 342: Portrait of Jacques de Menasce [www.smb.spk-berlin.de/jpg/1827_005.jpg; accessed 28.3.2006]. De Menasce (1905–1960) studied under Arnold Scho¨nberg and became a concert pianist and composer. Kokoschka writes of the portrait (1971, p. 91): ‘A finely sculpted boy’s face; the later generation of a robust family’.
