On August 24, 1941, Ruth Cohn told the foreign exchange office at Darmstadt that they reside in Neu-Isenburg in Taunusstraße 9, where she had learned infant and child care and housekeeping in the large company. She prepared herself with training before emigration.
Ruth Cohn, née Weil was born on July 20, 1905, in Parchim (Mecklenburg). She lived with her husband, Dr. Siegfried Cohn and their two daughters, Eva and Miriam Paula Gabriele, in Bad Ems in Römerstraße 64. Dr. Siegfried Cohn was chairman of the Jewish community of Bad Ems in 1932. The family planned to emigrate to the United States. Dr. Siegfried Cohn fled on July 18, 1939, to England, where he waited in Manchester for the emigration certificate for the family in the United States. The two underage daughters were believed to have been brought on a children’s transport in the Netherlands already on March 30, 1939. Their fate lays in the dark. In November 1941, they were in the custody of an institution of the Amsterdam Jewish Council.
After the dissolution "Heim Isenburg" Ruth Cohn lived in Frankfurt, Hermesweg 4 II. Apparently, she still had hope, along with her mother, Ida Weil, née Loewenstein, to escape Germany. The mother, who had also lived in Bad Ems, in spring of 1942, stayed at the Jewish Hospital in Gagernstraße 36 in Frankfurt, which was used as a nursing home at that time.
Ruth Cohn and Ida Weil paid some passage money in the spring season of 1942 at the „Weltreisebüro Rettemeyer“ („Travel Agency Rettermeyer“) in Wiesbaden for their emigration to the United States. The two women could no longer perceive this escape. Iida Weil was deported on August 18, 1942, from Frankfurt to the ghetto Theresienstadt and after that on September 26, 1942, to the Treblinka extermination camp.
Most recently, Ruth Cohn lived in the former Jewish Hospital in Mainz at Gonzenheimer Straße 11, that was last occupied by the senior citizens. From Mainz, she was kidnapped to the assembly point in Darmstadt and deported from there on September 30, 1942, presumably to Treblinka.:
