The Polgar Sisters have been chess legends for many years. Arguably corroborating the quintessentially Jewish argument that nurture is more important than nature! In recent months they’ve utilised both their brains and their hearts in order to support the plight of the Israeli hostages in Gaza.


Sofia Polgar tells us about the simultaneous exhibition that took place in the German Bundestag on March 14. Sofia points out that her grandparents were Holocaust survivors.
