Also see . . . Abraham Fuchs (Stolpersteine fόr Kitzingen, in German). Excerpt (in translation):
The ritual slaughterer and synagogue sexton Abraham Fuchs was born in Kitzol, Poland. His parents were Mendel and Veigelchen, nιe Lewin. Although he was married to a German woman and had two children with her, Elly (born 1920) and Alfred (born 1923), he fell under the stricter restrictions to which Jews born in Poland were subjected during the Nazi era, even before German Jews.
The Fuchs family's house was directly attached to the synagogue. When Abraham Fuchs, awakened by the noise in the early morning hours of November 10, 1938, went to check on the synagogue, he was beaten down and arrested by SS men from Kitzingen. They even tried to set fire to the family's house.
On March 24, 1942, Abraham and Mathilde Fuchs were deported from Kitzingen to Izbica near Lublin in eastern Poland. Their son Alfred, who was preparing for Hachshara (emigration to Palestine) at the Jewish training farms Gehringshof and Hattenhof, was deported to Riga in 1941.
