Rita Emily Goudeket was the only child of Maurits (Mau) Goudeket and Rebecca (Bep) Neeter.[1] Her father was head bookkeeping at a trading company.[2] 

Rita was entered in the register of Prepatory School No 51 on 21 May 1935.[3] In the 1935 preschool photo class Anne listed her as number 12.[4] She is the girl in the centre at the very front. Together with Jaap de Leeuw, Ans Bossen, Renée Weber and  Betty Polk, Rita is also in a 1940 photo, taken outside Sixth Montessori School.[1] Due to the anti-Jewish measures, she transferred to the Jewish Montessori School on 27 September 1941.[5]

On Sunday 20 June 1943, a large razzia took place in Amsterdam-Zuid and in a part of Amsterdam-Oost, rounding up the last remaining Jews in the city. A total of more than 5,500 Jews were taken into custody, all of whom were sent to Camp Westerbork.[6] Among them Rita, her parents, and her grandmother, who lived in their neighbourhood. After spending over a week in Westerbork, Rita and her parents were deported on the morning of 29 June in a long freight train to Sobibor extermination camp. Aboard this sixteenth transport to Sobibor were 2,397 people - men, women and children - none of whom would survive the death camp.[7] Rita, her father and mother were gassed immediately upon arrival on 2 July 1943. Grandmother Rika met with the same fate a week later.[8]
