Flory Steinhof lived in Bad Kissingen for several years and worked as a nurse at the Israelite spa hospice at Altenberg.

She was born in Segeberg (now Bad Segeberg) in June 1906 as the third of five children of the trader and junk dealer Moritz Steinhof and his wife Dina Kleve. Her father came from the Hungarian part of Burgenland and had moved to Hamburg at the turn of the century, where he had married Dina Kleve from Hamburg. At the beginning of 1902, they moved to Segeberg, where they opened a manufactured goods shop for textiles, shoes and haberdashery in their home. Flory grew up with four siblings: Selma Sara (1902 -1944), Paula (1904 -1942), Cäsar (Pessach) (1909-1954) and Frieda (Zipora) (1912 - 2009).

Although the Steinhofs' financial situation deteriorated over the years and Moritz eventually had to provide additional income as a travelling salesman in the area, Flory's parents attached great importance to their children's education and a solid professional qualification. After finishing secondary school, Flory trained as a nurse. In her free time, she was - like her three sisters - an enthusiastic gymnast at the Bad Segberg gymnastics club.

In May 1929, Flory Steinhof came to Bad Kissingen and began her work as a nurse at the Israelite Spa Hospice on Altenberg. She lived and worked there all year round until August 1933; she only spent the winter of 1930/31 with her parents in Bad Segeberg. During the summer season of 1932, her father took a cure at the Bad Kissingen Kurhospiz.

Flory Steinhof left Bad Kissingen on August 17, 1933 and emigrated to Palestine a few days later, arriving there on August 28. Perhaps the early decision to leave Germany can be explained by the anti-Semitic actions that the Steinhofs experienced immediately after the National Socialists came to power. On January 30, 1933, the Bad Segeberger National Socialists also celebrated Hitler's "seizure of power" with a torchlight procession through the town. Steinhof's shop opposite the town hall was looted. As the family had already been exposed to anti-Semitic actions for a long time, Moritz Steinhof sold his shop in 1933 and moved to Vienna to live with his eldest daughter Selma. But there, too, the terror of the National Socialists caught up with them after the annexation of Austria. In 1940, they had to flee to Slovakia and later to Hungary, where they were probably deported to Auschwitz or Sobibor in 1942 and murdered there. Their two eldest daughters Selma and Paula also died in extermination camps.

Flory's youngest sister Frieda survived, she was also able to emigrate to Palestine in September 1936, and her brother Caesar also managed to escape from Germany. He started a new life in New Zealand and later in Australia.

Little is known about the rest of Flory's life. She married and took the name Schochat. Flory Schochat died in Tel Aviv in 1977.
