Erika Menkes lived in the Neu-Isenburg Home of the Jewish Women's Association for 12 years. She came from Wiesbaden, where her mother Cenia had a tearoom. When Erika was two years old, her mother took her into the care of “Heim Isenburg," but kept on her contact.
Erika visited the Neu-Isenburg elementary school from 1927 to 1936, followed by a high school for girls in Frankfurt am Main for one year. In 1936, she and her mother fled to France.
