Frieda Ottenheimer’s parents, Moses and Lina, née Würzburger, had six children who were born between 1900 and 1911: their three sons Irwin, Max and Siegfried and their three daughters Jenny, Frieda and Minna. Frieda was born on 5 Dec. 1901 in Eberbach.
Minna married a commercial clerk who probably was not Jewish. The two sisters Frieda and Jenny remained single. The three brothers immigrated to Argentina.
Frieda Ottenheimer had learned housekeeping and worked as a housekeeper and nurse. In 1936 she moved from Mannheim to Hamburg and joined the German-Israelite Community. She worked in various private homes, such as for Ballo at Mittelstraße 78 for free room and board and pocket money; as a result her address changed frequently. She apparently was employed for a time at the Jewish nursing home. The former office and residential house of the Jewish Community at Beneckestraße 6 was being used as a nursing home when Frieda moved in there on 14 Sept. 1942.
Frieda’s sister Jenny lived in Gailingen in Baden where their father Moses Ottenheimer came from. She was on the first transport of Jews from Baden and Palatinate and several of Württemberg’s cities deported to the Gurs internment camp in the south of France on 22 Oct. 1940. It is not known whether the sisters had any contact with each other after that. Jenny was deported from Gurs to Auschwitz concentration camp.
Frieda Ottenheimer received notification of her deportation to Theresienstadt on 9 June 1943. In Theresienstadt she lived to see the visit by the delegation of the International Committee of the Red Cross on 23 July 1944. On 19 Oct. 1944 she was deported to Auschwitz. Nearly 20 years later, on 24 Jan. 1962, she was declared dead as of 31 Dec. 1945.
