Sigmund Hutzler was born on 14 February 1880 in Hüttenbach. His wife Mali Springer, was born there on 13 February 1879. The couple lived in Forchheim, where Sigmund worked as a horse dealer. They had no children. From 12 November until 21 December 1938 Sigmund was a prisoner in Dachau concentration camp. On 30 March 1939 he and his wife moved to Nuremberg, where his cousin Theodor lived.

Theodor Hutzler was born on 22 August 1899 in Forth near Eckental. His parents were the butcher Heinrich Hutzler and his wife Emma (née Schön). In July 1930 he married Therese Götz from Nuremberg. Theodor worked as a trader. The marriage was childless.

Theodor and Therese were deported to the Riga-Jungfernhof camp on 29 November 1941, where they were murdered. Sigmund und Mali were deported to the Izbica ghetto on 24 March 1942 and died there.
