Laurence Sherwood asked: >Does anyone know if Alma was Jewish? If so, was she observant? She married >two prominent Jewish men, Mahler and Franz Werfel, but her maiden name, >Schindler, suggests to me she was not. I don't know how you would get it from her name, but as a matter of my bad memory, I believe she was born Catholic. I have no idea whether she gave it up. I doubt she was all that observant.
