Edith Adler only lived in Bad Kissingen for a short time and worked as a maid in the Israelite children's sanatorium.

She came from a famous Franconian rabbinical family. Her grandfather Imanuel Menachem Adler was the district rabbi of Mainbernheim and Kitzingen from 1965 to 1911 (the seat of the rabbinate was moved to Kitzingen in 1871). Imanuel was married to Judith Bamberger, a daughter of Seligmann Bär Bamberger, the famous "Würzburger Raw" (information based on Michael Schneeberger's memorial book Kitzingen Yiskor, p. 130 - 132). Their son Pinchas married Sara Strauss from Marburg. The couple had two children: Kela (1897 - 1980) and Edith, who was born in Kitzingen in February 1899. Her father died a few months later.

Edith Adler remained single for the rest of her life. She suffered from a disability and worked as a domestic servant. She moved frequently and lived in Berlin, Cologne, Munich, Crailsheim, Würzburg, Vlotho, among other places, but also spent time in Kitzingen with her mother and, after her mother's death in 1935, with her sister Kela's family.

During the 1923 spa season in Bad Kissingen (from May to August), she worked as a domestic servant in the Israelite children's sanatorium in Salinenstraße.

After Edith's sister Kela marr. Nussbaum, managed to flee to the USA with her husband and two children in 1939, Edith moved to Hanover in July 1939. From there she was deported to Riga in December 1941 and murdered.
