Jul-29-09		myschkin: . . . "Die Toten von Bruck � Dokumente erz�hlen Geschichte" ".. Am Friedhof von Bruck an der Leitha (Nieder�sterreich)* befindet sich �ber einem Massengrab ein Gedenkstein f�r 155 ungarisch-j�dische Zwangsarbeiter. Unmenschliche Arbeitsbedingungen, Hunger und K�lte, aber auch Misshandlungen t�teten diese Menschen. Davon zeugen die Totenscheine, die von der penibel arbeitenden Amtsmaschinerie des NS-Regimes hinterlassen und beim Umzug des Stadtarchivs 2003 wieder aufgefunden wurden. ... Viel war von den 155 Opfern zu Beginn nicht bekannt, und trotzdem gelang es �ber einige der ungarischen Juden mehr in Erfahrung zu bringen und �ber ihr Schicksal zu erz�hlen. Bei Kornel Havasi war es der Zufall, der das Wissen brachte, dass er ein ber�hmter ungarischer Schachspieler gewesen ist. .." (by Petra Wei� und Irmtraut Karlsson) * http://www.ejournal.at/essay/todmar...

Sep-30-10		GrahamClayton: Kornel Havasi played all 8 of his games at the inaugral Chess Olympiad at London in 1927 with the White pieces.
