She was born in Stettin in Germany (now Szczecin, Poland). Julie Vogelstein was the daughter of rabbi Heinemann Vogelstein and sister of rabbi de:Hermann Vogelstein, and industrialists Ludwig Vogelstein and de:Theodor Vogelstein. She studied art history and Egyptology at the University of Munich and University of Berlin.[5] In 1919 she received her PhD from the University of Heidelberg.[2] In 1935 she left Germany for France and later the United States. In 1936 she went to California, and she lived in Carmel from time-to-time thereafter.[3] She was a member of the board of the Leo Baeck Institute.[6]

She was the secretary of Heinrich Braun (1854–1927), and became his second wife after the death of his wife Lily Braun (1865–1916).[1] She was also the editor of Lily Braun's Collected Works.[7]

She wrote and edited many books; for example she wrote Art: The Image of the West (1952) and edited The Diary of Otto Braun (1924).[3][4] Otto Braun was her stepson, who died in World War I.[3]

Her husband died in 1927; they did not have any children.[5] Braun-Vogelstein died in New York City.[1][5] Services were held at Riverside Memorial Chapel.[5]
