On 21 July 2006 Amelie Fried had stumbling stones laid for Alfred, Mathilde and Ilse Wagner. Mathilde was her grandfather’s sister. Alfred Wagner committed suicide in 1942. His wife and daughter were deported to Izbica and murdered.

Alfred Wagner was born on 2 January 1898 in Vienna. His parents were Mayer Wagner and his wife Debora (née Zellenkraut). On 26 June 1913 he married Mathilde Fried in Augsburg. Mathilde was also born in Vienna, on 3 March 1890. Her daughter Ilse was born on 12 July 1914. In December 1918 the family moved to Nuremberg, where Alfred ran a men’s clothing business located in Neue Gasse.

Long before the deportations of Jews to the camps and ghettos began in autumn 1941, the National Socialist state had denied them all legal rights, robbed them of any sizeable property and lastly, prevented them from fleeing abroad. In this situation, Alfred Wagner took poison and died on 20 February 1942 in the Jewish hospital in Fürth. A few weeks later, on 24 March, Mathilde and Ilse were deported to the Izbica ghetto and murdered.
