After his studies at the Technische Hochschule in Darmstadt (1930-1932) Georg Fuchs worked for a Jewish company as a chemist, initially near Pilsen and from 1936 in Prague. He obtained a visa in 1939 to emigrate to Stockholm for work. His mother was deported to Theresienstadt concentration camp in 1942. She was issued with a Swedish visa only after she was transported to Warsaw, Poland. She perished in the Holocaust. Georg's sister, Zuzana Wachtlova, lived with her daughter Dolly, in Brno. They were both deported to Theresienstadt in December 1941 where her daughter died. Zuzana survived the war. Four aunts of Georg Fuchs were also murdered at Theresienstadt.
Georg Fuchs went to England in March 1943 to serve in the Czech army. He settled down in England in 1946 and got married to Anneliese Meyer in 1949.
