The divorcee Bella Wolff had worked as an employee in the office of the Central Association of German Citizens of Jewish Faith (Centralverein deutscher Bürger jüdischen Glaubens) at Beneckestrasse 2, which was dissolved in 1938. During her marriage, her husband and she adopted Ruth Wolff, born in 1915, who emigrated to the USA in 1938. Bella Wolff stayed behind. She lived on Haynstrasse, Parkallee, Sierichstrasse, Durchschnitt, and Dillstrasse, before moving to Bornstrasse 22.

The single, childless Rosa Wolff (apparently not related to Bella Wolff) owned a coffee wholesale business with retail premises on Rentzelstrasse. She lived on Rutschbahn before moving to Bornstrasse 22, her last address in Hamburg, where she received the deportation order.
