Waldoff lived together with Olga von Roeder. The lesbian couple lived happily in Berlin during the 1920s. Together they met often other lesbian friends in the club, Damenklub Pyramide, in Berlin. After the German Nazis won the elections 1933 and Hitler came to power, Waldoff‘s success ended. In 1939, she and Olga von Roder left Berlin together, and they lived in Bayerisch Gmain. After World War II, she lost her money in German Monetary reform in 1948. In 1953 she wrote her autobiography. 1954 she got a little monetary support by senate of city Berlin. Waldoff died in 1957 and she was buried on the cemetery Pragfriedhof in Stuttgart. I am sure that the sentiment that men are stupid is not just held by a lesbian singer!
