Joachim Roloff probably was killed one day before the liberation of Riga. Natan Roloff found his granddaughter Dagmar in Duchero in 1948 and smuggled her to West Germany. At the same trime he found his daughter-in-law and older granddaughter, Aviva, and brought them over to the displaced persons camp that he managed in Neustadt/Holstein.
