Abraham Edith Paula (1924–1943)

Born on 25 May 1924 in the German village of Brandoberndorf, to an orthodox family of the merchant Ferdinand Abraham and Emmy née Frank. She had four siblings: three brothers – Berthold, Bertram and Siegbert, and a sister named Beate.

During the war she lived with her family at 5 Jekerstraat in Amsterdam. Edith Paula studied at a home economics school, and worked as an auxiliary nurse at the nursing home run by her parents.

In June 1943, the Abraham family was arrested and sent to the Westerbork transit camp. On 20 July 1943, Edith Paula, her parents and three siblings (Beate, Bertram and Siegbert) were deported to the Theresienstadt concentration camp, and later to the extermination camp in Sobibór. They died on 23 July 1943.
