Martha Oppenheimer was the mother of Henny Oppenheimer, who is also listed in this Memorial Book. Miltenberg's daughter, the cattle trader Wilhelm Oppenheimer, was 16 years old when she gave birth to her daughter at the Israelite Hospital in Frankfurt, Gagernstraße 36, on December 30, 1935. She had spent the last three months of her pregnancy at the Jewish Women's Home in Neu-Isenburg.
Martha provided her daughter for one year at „Heim Isenburg.“ At the beginning of March 1937, she moved to Frankfurt am Main, where she worked as a house worker in the Israeli Social Care Center, a retirement home in Röderbergweg 77. Henny stayed in Neu-Isenburg. Martha kept in touch with her daughter and took part in the maintenance costs.
Martha Oppenheimer moved to Berlin in 1941 after a file note from the Frankfurt exchange office, where she might have to perform forced labor. When Martha married and took the surname Martczak is not known. Her husband could have been Werner Martczak, born on March 12, 1920, in Berlin, who was deported from Berlin on March 2, 1943, in the same transport as Martha and her daughter Henny to Auschwitz concentration and extermination camp.
Martha Martczak's track is lost in Auschwitz.
