Irma was born in 1887, and lived until March 21st, 1943. However, her marker isn't entirely clear about what happened to her. It uses the terms Gedemütigt (humiliated) and Entrechtet (disenfranchised), followed by the phrase "flucht in den Tod" (escaped in death), but explains nothing more.I suspect that these terms are used somewhat euphemistically, to say just enough about her situation that you don't really want any more details, but I'm not even sure about that. Regardless, it is enough to know that Irma died in the Holocaust.
January 27th is Holocaust Remembrance Day, and today, I am remembering her.
