Description:: Estelle Alexander, an American from San Francisco, married French aristocrat François Marie Constant Amédée Robert de Broglie (known as Prince Robert de Broglie) in the early 1900s, after which she was known as (Princess) Estelle de Broglie. They had a daughter, Jassemonde Estelle Siglinde de Broglie. According to newspaper accounts, they gave concerts, with Estelle, a soprano, singing, and Robert conducting the orchestra. The marriage was eventually annulled. Estelle continued to live in France and visited the United States in 1929 intending to regain U.S. citizenship. She died at Auschwitz in 1944, and is identified as "Estelle Alexander 1872" on the Mémorial de la Shoah (Shoah Memorial) in Paris. In documents, her name is sometimes given as Estella Dolores Alexander.
