Elisabeth’s parents Leopold and Malvina raised her and her brother Isador in a traditional Jewish home. Her grandmother Bluma Salomon was a significant figure in her life.
From 1940, the family experienced overt antisemitism, which Elisabeth felt from her teacher and classmates. Her father was prohibited from practicing his profession. His former employees took over his legal practice. He was beaten and robbed.
