Martha Goldberg, née Sussmann (4 August 1873 – 10 November 1938) was a German woman and social activist, and one of five Jewish victims murdered by National Socialists in Bremen and the surrounding area during Reichspogromnacht.
She was married to Dr Adolph Goldberg, also Jewish, whose practice was based in Burgdamm.
Martha Goldberg was well respected due to her social conscience.
For more than four decades she supported fellow citizens who were in need in a variety of ways, particularly those she encountered through her husband's medical practice.
She and her husband were killed by a member of the Sturmabteilung.Although the circumstances of her murder and its legal treatment in both the Nazi era and post-war period are documented in preserved trial records, the process of accounting for her personal fate did not begin until the 1980s.
In Bremen, tributes to those murdered include the naming of a public square after the Goldbergs, and the naming of a nursery after Martha Goldberg.
