Ida Koppel, née Josephs, born 28 Feb. 1873 in Neustadt, deported 25 Oct. 1941 to Lodz, killed 9 July 1942

We know almost nothing about Ida Koppel apart from the dates she was born and died. Her daughter mentioned in the reparation report only that: "My mother did not work. We lived from her money."

Ida Koppel was widowed in 1918. She and her daughter Martha, born in 1913, were able to live off of the interest from her inherited wealth. Her daughter, who later changed her name to Florence Cappel, immigrated to the USA via the Middle East in 1938.

Ida Koppel had to endure the deadly living conditions in Lodz Ghetto for nearly three-quarters of a year before she died on 9 July 1942.

After the war, her brother Edward searched for her and three other siblings by placing an announcement in the émigré newspaper "Aufbau".
