Life

Stephanie L. Oppenheim was born to a Jewish family in Frankfurt on 10 July 1877.[1]

Oppenheim married the Swiss anthropogist Rudolf Martin, becoming his second wife. After his death in 1925, she edited a revised edition (1928) of his textbook of physical anthropology.[2]

In 1930 she was a contributor to Walter Scheidt's Rockefeller-funded anthropological study of the German population.[3]

Facing Nazi persecution, she was sent to Theresienstadt. According to some sources, she survived Theresienstadt.[4] However, other sources give her year of death as 1940.[5]
