Selma Marbach came from a Hamburg family. Her father was the “goldworker” [goldsmith] Moritz Marbach, and her mother was Emma, née Simon. Daughter Selma was born at ABC-Strasse 16.
In Nov. 1938, when Selma Marbach was forced, like all female Jews, to assume the compulsory added name of Sara, and to apply for this process, she lived at Isestrasse 85. Selma Marbach remained unmarried. She worked as an accountant at the Dehn, Labowsky, and Stumme law firm at Neuer Wall 72, before becoming unemployed on 30 Apr. 1939.
In the period leading up to her deportation to Riga on 6 Dec. 1941, Selma Marbach lived in the “Jews’ house” (“Judenhaus”) at Frickestrasse 24.
