Cilly Carlebach worked for a few days as head of the home of the Jewish Women's Association in Neu-Isenburg from 9th to 16th June, 1941. She represented Helene Krämer during her absence.

Cilly Carlebach was born on August 22, 1887 in Frankfurt at Main. After marriage with a businessman by name Adolf Bachrach, she moved to Marburg because Adolf Bachrach and his brother had a wholesale business "Abraham Samuel Bachrach". The company sold granulators, cereals, butter and fertilizer. When Adolf Bachrach died on January 6, 1928, Cilly took over his place in the company on February 17, 1928.

With the boycott of Jewish shop owners on April 1, 1933, the wholesale trade began to decline. In 1937 he was finally removed from the commercial register. Cilly Bachrach moved back to Frankfurt, where she worked in Wöhlerstraße as head of the Jewish Nursing Home, trying to give the elderly, many of whom had fled from the region to Frankfurt, a decent living despite all the persecutions.

Cilly Bachrach had two daughters, one of whom managed to escape to England. The other daughter, Hilde Emilie Bachrach, died in September 1943 in the extermination camp of Sobibor. She fled to the Netherlands but was deported and murdered there.

Cilly Bachrach was probably captured in early 1942 from Frankfurt. There is evidence that she was deported and transported on May 8 to the Ghetto of Izbica. Probably she died in the extermination camp of Sobibor.
