After the occupation of Denmark by the Wehrmacht Friediger and other Danish Jews were interned by the occupying power in 1943 in the open state prison at Horserød, and later deported to Theresienstadt concentration camp via Swinemünde where on 3 October 1943 he and other Danish Jews were spotted by Danish communists also being deported.
