Marianne Jerke-Hofmann was born in May, 1917 in Berlin, Germany during the height of World War I. Perhaps her birth at such a tumultuous time, prior to the new birth of Berlin, played an important role in shaping her equally tumultuous personality.
Marianne survived the First World War and struggled through the Second, even finding employment that benefitted the rise of the Third Reich. After a brief internment in a Russian prison camp, she gathered up her daughter and few belongings and fled to the United States.
Marianne found her footing in New York City. She married, purchased a well-known delicatessen, and then set her sights on cleaning up the Manhattan streets with the aid of New York City’s 34th precinct.
Like an energetic pendulum, Marianne lived life swinging to both ends of a spectrum, touching countless lives along the way.
