Judith Bloemhof, born 15 September 1892 in Amsterdam, was a daughter of Salomon Abraham Bloemhof and Roosje Ossendrijver. She married Abraham Wolff in Amsterdam on 19 September 1923, a son of Jacob Wolff and Sientje Serlui. Abraham was a stamps sales representative. The couple had one son, Jacob, born 2 December 1925 who eventually lost his life on 30 June 1944 somewhere in Mid Europe.
Judith and Abraham lived after their wedding at Swammerdamstraat 27 in Amsterdam, moved over 26 May 1928 to 1st Boerhaavestraat 15 2nd floor and after removed another two times, to Johann Keplerstraat and 1st Boerhaavestraat 70, their last address in Amsterdam became Eemsstraat 31 parterre.
At the time of the big raids in Amsterdam, early October 1942, Abraham Wolff was arrested and taken to Westerbork, where he ended up in barrack 57. Just as his wife, Abraham Wolff was “exempted from deportation” because of the function of his son Jacob, who worked for the Jewish Council since 15 August 1942 – more specific at the luggage and order service of the Expositur in the Jan van Eyckstraat 15 in Amsterdam. And in connection with this, Abraham Wolff has tried intensively to obtain deferment of deportation, which took several months.
Judith Wolff-Bloemhof was also “exempted from deportation” because of the fuction of her son, but eventually she was arrested and taken to Westerbork during the big raids in Amsterdam of 20 June 1943, which have been prepared in highest secrecy and carried out by the Germans. In Westerbork, she ended up in barrack 70. Both Abraham and Judith were then deported 13 July 1943 together to Sobibor and on arrival there on 16 July 1943, both were immediately killed in the gas chambers there.
