There was a refugee camp in Niederoderwitz and the Catholic church in Zittau thinks she may be buried there. The historian in Niederoderwitz confirms there was a refugee camp there after the evacuation of Schlesien and there is a one line record of her death. Because Germans empty graves after 10 years and this was almost certainly a temporary grave she is no longer buried there.
Married to Josef Wagner both born in Alt Patschkau, Kreis Neisse, Schlesien, Deutschland. Expelled from their home after the war, Anna died on the way west.
She tried to kill herself by drowning in the Ottmachau reservoir when she heard they were being expelled from their home. Only her daughter-in-law Magdalena Kunze Wagner saved her from that fate. Her husband said that she died of a broken heart and could not face the prospect of living in a strange land (the west). She became sick on the train and was taken care of in the camp near Zittau where she died.
