...This is the only existing photo of the family Vlasch abandoned when he left Poland to pursue his musical career with Tomcha.
... He later wrote that his wife, Chutka, placed a gypsy curse on him as he walked out. Whether curse or coincidence, what followed was disaster not only for Vlasch, but every woman who became romantically entangled with him.

Died of cholera


Killed by stray bullet

Abducted by Algerians

Fatal archery accident

Caused a train wreck

Diphtheria

Suffocated

Perished in sadomasochist mishap


Died of smallpox


Stepped on landmine

.
Died of typhus


Died of pneumonia...


Discovered they were first cousins, committed suicide...


Abducted by Cossacks


Fatal equestrian accident


Left Vlasch for Tomcha,
later succumbed to consumption


Vlasch's involvement with three women in this photo resulted
in the entire band being decimated by the Spanish flu.

Struck by lightning

Abducted by Turks


Died of unknown causes
