Cilly, the third child of Rabbi Dr. Ephraim and Gertrud Carlebach, left behind a rich collection of private papers that document the life journey of an educated, courageous, and spirited woman. After falling seriously ill at the age of 15, she became highly dependent on her surroundings. Nevertheless, her private correspondence reflects her deep concern for her closest family and friends.
Notably, the collection includes a series of illustrated postcards and letters from her cousins - Hanna Aber (Rosenak) from Bremen, Ralph Neuhaus from Cologne, and Eva Carlebach from Altona - along with letters from Hans Kroch (1950-1965) and others. A particularly significant highlight is an extensive correspondence file with her close friend, nurse Anni Steinberg (Jablonski), spanning 1927-1940. This exchange offers a poignant account of the family's struggles, including their attempted emigration from Leipzig, Germany, amid the growing Nazi threat.
