Later life and death
Alois died in 1903 and left a government pension. Klara and Adolf and Paula departed Leonding for Linz, where they lived frugally.
Klara Hitler discovered a lump in her breast in 1906 but initially dismissed it. After suffering chest pains that were keeping her awake at night, she finally consulted Eduard Bloch, the family doctor. She had been occupied with her family, so she had missed out on medical assistance, according to her. Bloch chose not to tell Klara that she had breast cancer but gave it to her son Adolf, who was to alert her. Bloch told Adolf that his mother had a slim chance of surviving and that she should have a radical mastectomy. The Hitlers were devastated by the news. Klara Hitler "accepted the decision as I was positive she would," Bloch said. She was deeply religious and believed that her destiny was God's will. She would never have complained." She underwent mastectomy at Sisters of St. Mercy in Linz, whereupon the surgeon, Karl Urban, discovered that the cancer had already spread to the pleural tissue in her chest. Klara's children were told that her illness was terminal. Adolf, who had been in Vienna ostensibly to study art, and his siblings returned home to tend to his mother. Klara Hitler's health had steadily deteriorated by October, and her son Adolf begged Bloch to try a new approach. Bloch continued to administer iodoform, a then experimental form of chemotherapy, for the next 46 days (from November to early December). Klara Hitler's mastectomy incisions were revived, and large doses of iodoform-soaked gauze were applied directly to the tumor to "burn" the cancer cells. Klara's throat swollen, and she was unable to swallow due to the treatments' painfulness, leaving her unable to swallow.
The treatments proved futile, and Klara Hitler died at home in Linz from the toxic medical effects of iodoform's toxic medical side-effects on December 21, 1907. Klara was buried in Leonding near Linz.
Adolf Hitler, who had a close relationship with his mother, was devastated by his mother's death and carried the sadness with him for the remainder of his life. "I've never seen anyone so prostrate with grief as Adolf Hitler" in his career. Hitler said in his autobiography Mein Kampf that he had "honoured my father but adored my mother" and that his mother's death was a "dreadful blow." Hitler expressed appreciation to Bloch, who was Jewish, for helping him migrate from Austria to the United States, a privilege that was unobtainable to only few other Jews in Austria.
Bloch was interviewed by the Office of Strategic Services (a predecessor of the Central Intelligence Agency) in 1941 and 1943 to learn about Hitler's childhood. He said that Hitler's most notable feature was his love for his mother:
Bloch denied the suggestion that Hitler's mother's love for his mother was pathological.
When he heard about his mother's impending death, Bloch remembered him as the "most man I'd seen," while Klara was viewed as a "pious and generous" woman who "would turn in her grave if she knew what became of him."
In 1934, Hitler honored Klara by naming a street in Passau after her.
