Toni Ehrlich, née Goldschmidt was born 1880 as the youngest daughter of Siegfried Goldschmnidt and his wife Flora, née Rother in Breslau (today Wrocław in Poland). She received an exquisite education, which was enhanced by traveling and visiting the cultural centers of Europe from an early age on. She studied art history and remained an expert in the field throughout her life. In 1906 she got married to Martin Ehrlich, with whom she had two daughters, Lore and Ewa. After his premature death she sustained her family by teaching privately in Breslau. In 1939 she emigrated to Palestine, where she settled in Haifa and continued to teach art history. Toni Ehrlich died in 1969 in Haifa, Israel.
