Mathilde's parents were Anschel Adler and Sofie, née Bernei. She was married to the ritual slaughterer and synagogue sexton Abraham Fuchs from Kitzol in Poland.

Recollections of Josef Ofer (formerly Oppenheimer): On Kristallnacht in 1938, someone tried to set fire to the Fuchs family's house. Mathilde Fuchs was alone in the house. Her husband had been arrested. Terrified, she left the house and fled to the Oppenheimers' house at Rosenstrasse 13. They barricaded themselves inside; nevertheless, the mob managed to break into the ground floor
