Description

This story recounts the tragic life of Attila Petschauer, a Hungarian Jewish Olympic gold medalist, set against the backdrop of Hungarian Jewry's complex history. Despite their significant contributions and deep patriotism, Hungarian Jews faced increasing anti-Semitism, culminating in their betrayal during the Holocaust. Petschauer's journey from celebrated athlete to a victim of horrific persecution underscores the vulnerability of Jews in exile, reminding us of the precariousness of their existence and the need for unity and remembrance, especially on Tisha B'Av.
