Bianca Cohn, née Frei, was born in Steinach on September 27, 1906 as the youngest of seven children of the merchant Bernhard Frei and his wife Rosa, née Löwenberger. The Frei family, who came from Eichenhausen near Bad Neustadt, had been living in Steinach since the first half of the 19th century and had been working as butchers and cattle dealers for generations. In 1912, after the death of her father, her mother, presumably accompanied by the younger siblings, moved to Bad Kissingen. It can’t be learned from the register how long Bianca Cohn lived in Bad Kissingen. 

Bianca married the merchant Berthold Cohn who came from Hildesheim and lived in Hannover with him, where in 1932  their son Heinz Peter was born. The family managed to escape to the USA in time; in July 1937, they went on board the “SS Washington” and emigrated to New York. Not much is known about their later lives.

Bianca Cohn died in May 1996 in Dade/ Florida at the age of 89, her husband had died in Miami in 1989 at the age of 86.
