Carla was the oldest of four children of lawyer Alfred Levy and his wife Florette Levy-Sanders. When the war started, Carla was a philosophy student. She and her next oldest sibling, her sister Johanna (Hanny), a medical student, were sent to Westerbork. Hanny escaped from the medical area of Westerbork in the garbage with the help of a German communist prisoner and survived the war hidden underground, continuing her medical studies throughout. Carla was sent from Westerbork to Sobibor and was killed upon arrival. Their younger sister Lucy, later a psychoanalyst, also survived the war - hidden in the Dutch countryside. Alfred and Florette survived the war hidden underground in Amsterdam together with Florette's mother Rosalie Sanders, who was elderly and ill and spent a great deal of time at Wilhelmina Gasthuis where she was hidden by the nurses. Carla's brother, Joan, the youngest sibling, left for the United States at the age of 17 in 1939 and therefore also survived the war.
