Ester Kurman received an incomplete secondary education in Liepāja in 1926 and until 1941 worked as a private music tutor. In 1930, her son Pavel was born (he drowned in 1945 in the town of Marx). In 1940, she married Mendel Kurman (born 1905), a butcher from Skaistkalne. From 1941 to 1946, she lived in evacuation with her husband in Marx.
