Maria was born in 1903. Maria Huber married Joseph Eidelmann, but the family used the Huber name due to problems caused by the Nazi takeover of Germany. Eidelmann was considered a Jewish name and Huber a German one. The family destroyed all documents linking them to the Jews, thereby surviving World War II.
The family lived in a large apartment building in downtown Munich that was hit by a bomb during World War II. The bomb was a dud, and the building spared. The Nazi's sent in Jews to dearm the bomb. The family spent many anxious times in local bunkers during the bombing raids. The bunkers were constructed with springs to repell the bombs.
Maria Huber worked in a factory to support their three children. Maria and Joseph and their family died in Germany, however their youngest daughter married an American solider and moved to the United States.
