Ilse Teller was the sister of Elly and Irmgard Teller, who are also recorded in this memorial book.

Ilse and Elly Teller were accommodated from 1934 to 1938 in the Home of the Jewish Women's Association. When Ilse came to Neu-Isenburg, she was seven years old. The oldest sister of the two girls, Irmgard Teller, who was then 17 years old, was also recorded in the first handed-down list of the residents of September 1935.

The parents were Willi Teller, born in Hohensalza in 1895, and Martha Teller, née Metzger, who was born in 1894 in Gailingen (for reference see „Datenbank des Jüdischen Museums Frankfurt am Main“). Elly, Ilse, and Irmgard had two other sisters, Alice, born in 1931, and Sonja, born in 1933, and a brother Alfred, born in 1919. It is unclear whether the other children were housed temporarily in homes, and under what circumstances it came to the outplacement of Elly, Ilse, and Irmgard. The family lived in Frankfurt am Main in the Uhlandstraße 33 IV.

Ilse and Elly Teller were transferred from the partly destroyed Neu-Isenburger home to the Israelite orphan's institution headed by Isidor Marx in Frankfurt's Röderbergweg.

On 12 November 1941, Elly Teller was deported together with her mother and her siblings from Frankfurt am Main to the Minsk ghetto. Her father, Willi Teller, had committed suicide six months earlier, on 12 May 1941, in the Dachau concentration camp. Ilse was 14 years old at the time of her deportation.
