Max Freund was born on 29 July 1884 in Deutsch-Krone. He was a specialist in the leather industry and moved to Kötzschenbroda in 1920 with his wife Charlotte and her mother Martha Ury. There he ran a small shop selling leather goods and shoes.

After the National Socialists seized power, he lost his business but was able to continue working as an employee at the "Leder-Hartmann" company. He hoped to enjoy protection as a Jewish front-line fighter in the First World War with honours such as the Iron Cross I and II Class. However, his family was not spared from persecution either.

On 28 July 1942, Max Freund was deported to Theresienstadt with his wife and daughter Marion. In October 1944, he was deported to Auschwitz and murdered there.
