Vrouwtje Cohen, daughter of Hijman Leendert Cohen and Mietje van Furth, married on 15 October 1879 the disc sander Emanuel Worms, a son of Philip Hartog Worms and Rachel Eliazer Piller. Emanuel was born on 25 July 1858 in Amsterdam and died there at the age of 68 on 17 August 1926 and was subsequently buried at the Jewish Cemetery in Diemen. The Worms-Cohen couple had seven children.
Vrouwtje Cohen outlived her husband by over 16 years; she lived at Tugelaweg 49, where she came to live on 28 December 1926, four months after her husband's death. Their seven children were all born between 1892 and 1893 in Rapenburgerstraat, in the old city-center of Amsterdam. Then, in 1901, the family moved to Oosterparkstraat and in May 1907 to Vrolikstraat 295. They lived there for about 19 years.
Vrouwtje Cohen, at the age of 84, while still living on Tugelaweg, was arrested on 15 March 1943 and taken to Westerbork, where she was registered on the 16th and housed in barrack 85. On 23 March she was taken in a transport from 1250 victims in total and deported to Sobibor. Upon arrival there on 26 March 1943, she was immediately murdered in the gas chambers, along with all the other deportees. There were no survivors.
