Also see . . . Mathilde Fuchs (Stolpersteine fόr Kitzingen). Excerpt (in translation):
Mathilde's parents were Anschel Adler and Sofie, nιe 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 and smash up the shop. Stones were thrown into the room.
On March 24, 1942, Abraham and Mathilde Fuchs from Kitzingen were deported 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.
