The description at BYU (accessed 24 Nov 2012) is incorrect as it states that this is the family of Alfred Freyberg the Mayor of Leipzig and his family. It is the family of Kurt Lisso, the Deputy Mayor. The date the photograph was taken is on or around 20 April 1945 and they had committed suicide on the 18th April.
