In 1941, Wertz rescued Jews from deportation to Poland by issuing diagnoses of serious diseases to them. He acted because of humanitarian reasons and only charged a flat pro-forma ordination charge of 5 ℛ︁ℳ︁ from his Jewish patients.

One of the rescued was the Jewish Gertrude Fritz, who, by arriving at Wertz already was referenced on a deportation list. Wertz certified her an abscess in her uterus and ordered her six weeks of bed rest. There were some Gestapo-physicians who came to her, but they believed the sickness certificate would be correct. During this time Gertrude Fritz was not deported.
