Abraham Jacob was born in 1909 in 's Graveland, while Hertha Regina was born in Frankfurt am Main in 1907. As a German-Jewish refugee, she arrived in the Netherlands in 1933, while her parents left for the US. In 1938, Abraham moved from The Hague to Deventer, where he worked as a commercial traveler and representative for a textile company, probably the M. Adelaar company. He married Hertha that same year, who worked as a secretary.

Both were religious and frequented the synagogue in Golstraat. Abraham held various religious functions, including corporate caretaker and messenger for the Jewish Council in Deventer. He also worked as a house servant-sickly nurse in the Jewish hospital in the Sandrasteeg, which was set up as a hospital during the war. In January 1943 they lived in the hospital, where Hertha was expecting their daughter.

On April 9, 1943 they were sent to Camp Vught and later to Westerbork, where their daughter Henriëtte Jeannette was born on April 28. On August 31, 1943 they were deported to Auschwitz, where Hertha and Henriëtte were gassed three days later. Abraham survived seven months until his death on March 31, 1944.
