Marta Fuks was born on September 28, 1897, in Praha, Central Bohemia, Czech Republic, the child of Eugen and Frantiska Lustig. She married Marta Fuks and they had one son and two daughters between 1921 and 1930. Prior to World War II the family lived in Praha I, at Platnéřská 7.
On 27 July 1942, Marta and her family were deported on Transport AAu. They were sent from Prague to Terezin Ghetto. While in the ghetto the family was separated and Marta's son and eldest daughter were deported from the ghetto.
A few months later, Artur, his wife Marta, and his daughter Anna were deported from Terezin. They were sent Auschwitz Death Camp and arrived the next day on 16 May 1944. Unlike most incoming transports to Auschwitz-Birkenau, the inmates of this transport did not undergo selection, and none of them were murdered immediately upon arrival. Instead, they were ordered to surrender their luggage and were taken the so-called ‘Sauna’, where they were shaved and tattooed with prisoner numbers. They were then taken to a separate, fenced-off section of Birkenau which received the designation “Familienlager (Family Camp) B II b”, together with thousands of Theresienstadt inmates who had arrived there in September 1943.
Those who remained at the Birkenau Family Camp were taken to the gas chambers on July 10, 1944 and were murdered there. Since there are no other records for Marta it's believed that she was killed in the Gas Chambers on 10 July 1944 with her husband and daughter. She was 46-years-old.
