Elisabeth Platzer is not my grandmother, as I first thought. But she is listed as "Bree" in Index of the Jewish Records of Vienna:

But this data might be mistaken, so I won't list then on Geni as children of Bernhard/Elisabeth Gostl.
Also it seems that "bree" is not actually a word in any European language I looked at, but it is a name or nickname. So without any of her actual documents, I have no idea why Bree would have been in her name.
Any other ideas?
