Dimitri von Mohrenschildt was the brother of George de Mohrenschildt and spent much of his later life residing in India at the Sri Aurobindo Ashram in Pondicherry. Unlike George, Dimitri remained largely outside the public spotlight, making surviving signed correspondence from him especially scarce.

George de Mohrenschildt (1911–1977) was a Russian-born petroleum geologist and socialite best remembered for his association with Lee Harvey Oswald in the months prior to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. His relationship with Oswald and later testimony before investigators made him one of the most debated peripheral figures connected to the Kennedy assassination. George’s death in 1977, officially ruled a suicide shortly before he was scheduled to testify before the House Select Committee on Assassinations, further deepened public intrigue surrounding his role in JFK assassination history.
