This is another picture of my grandmother. Shortly after I arrived in Budapest, we went to visit my grandmother. If you look closely at the picture, you can see “the number” on her left arm, “courtesy” of the Nazis.
It is Saturday Open Forum. The forum is yours!

Yhe, I enlarged the picture and saw the number. Your grandmother looks like a very good person and she looks happy too probably due to your visit.
Great picture.
Are you all having the time of your life? When is the simu exhibition?
I hope you all are enjoying.
Susan,
For a holocaust survivor, your granny still looks very pretty and well cared for. How old is she now? Was she actually in a concentration camp? Do you know which one it was?
She was at Auschwitz.
Best wishes,
Susan Polgar
I read that people in the camps made chess pieces out of bread.
I got the shivers to see that picture and realise the suffering someone can got through and still bring up the new generation with hope for the future, and to look so well. I wish you all the very best for the future.
Are all the Nazis extinct now? May those mentally sick people never walk this earth again.
This is really fantastic. Being a descendant of a survivor of Auschwitz.
You definitely have your grandmother’s eyes.
I find it totally irresponsible for 6 board members (Goichberg, Schultz, Channing, Hough, Marinello and Sloan) to either insult / sit and watch other insult and calling Susan names in the “official” USCF forums. This is bunch of deplorable and incompetent leaders of the USCF.
A Hungarian survivor of Auschwitz helped my mentally disabled brother in Seattle, for which I’ll be forever grateful. (I am an International Master).
i am your age susan, and my father fought for the allies as did my uncles in world war two. it was very sad and at the same time poignant to see your grandmother’s number. hope you are enjoying your visit.
In chess world we frequently use the term winner. But, this is really to be a winner: to have passed in a
nazi concentration camp and to have resisted.
Hi,
With a holocaust survivor in the family congratulating two anti-semites: Fisher and Spassky doesn’t make sense.
A proud Israeli a son to two holocaust survivors who lost dozens of their families.
