      The last survivor from Auschwitz

      Budapest, Hungary, RIP


      My Grandmother, the last surviving member of our family from Auschwitz, just passed away earlier today in Budapest, Hungary. She is survived by her daughter Klara (my mother), 3 grandchildren (my sisters and I), and 6 great grandchildren (Tommy, Alon, Leeam, Yoav, Oliver, and Hanna).

        R.I.P. to your grandmother, she most certainly lived an incredible life being a survivor and all. My grandmother died a year ago from this past November from lung failure, she was healthy otherwise in every way, she was 87. Everyone loved her.

        Magnified and sanctified be G-d’s great name in the world which He created according to His will. May he establish His kingdom during our lifetime and during the lifetime of Israel. Let us say, Amen.
        May G-d’s great name be blessed forever and ever.

        Blessed, glorified, honored and extolled, adored and acclaimed be the name of the Holy One, though G-d is beyond all praises and songs of adoration which can be uttered. Let us say, Amen.

        May there be peace and life for all of us and for all Israel. Let us say, Amen.

        Let He who makes peace in the heavens, grant peace to all of us and to all Israel. Let us say, Amen.

        Maybe Polgar will stay in Hungary and never come back. We don’t need any foreigner running our chess federation.

        Goichberg has a speial place in hell waiting for him. It is located a few miles above Sloan’s spot in hell for chess morons and child molesters.

        I feel how weak and fruitless must be any word of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. But I cannot refrain from tendering you a consolation that may be found in fond memories.

        I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost.

        Stay in Hungary if you know what’s good for you. The USCF is doing fine without a foreign woman in the leadership role.
