Hans's parents, although Jewish, did not believe in [[Brit Milah| ritual circumcision]], so he was not [[circumcised]] in accordance with the alleged [[Abrahamic covenant]].
Hans's father died when he was 13 and his mother was addicted to morphine, so he was placed in the custody of Zionist Jews in England who decided to have him [[circumcised]] at age 15,<ref name="suicide1930">{{REFweb

He never was able to overcome the physical and psychic [[trauma]] of his circumcision. He never married, nor did he seem to have an occupation.
His sister, Pauline, died at Bordeaux, France in 1930 when he was 39. After the funeral, Hans used a firearm to take his own life in his hotel room.<ref name="suicide1930" />

Hans was buried at Bordeaux along with his sister Pauline. However, in 2004 the Israeli government had the remains of Pauline and Hans exhumed and reburied in the national cemetery near the grave of their father, Theodor Herzl.<ref name="suicide1930" />
