Born May 27 (=33, as she was fond of pointing out), 1902, in New York City to German parents, Lulu Hofmann grew up in Frankfurt, Germany, with her older sister Emy, also born in New York, and her younger sister Ilse, born in Frankfurt. Her father, Otto Hofmann, was a banker and her mother, Clara Olshauson Hofmann, a homemaker from a "long line of academicians," according to Lulu's niece, Marie-Gabriele Lindenborn, who also reported that Otto and Clara Hofmann encouraged their daughters to pursue higher education and careers.
