  • Dutchman Who Did Not Drink Beer. He Also Surprised My Wife Nina by Showing up with Flowers at the Lenox Hill Hospital Just Before She Gave Birth to My Son Mitchell
    168 The Bobby Fischer I Knew and Other Stories Dutchman who did not drink beer. He also surprised my wife Nina by showing up with flowers at the Lenox Hill Hospital just before she gave birth to my son Mitchell. I hadn't said peep, but he had his quiet ways of finding out. Max was quiet in another way. He never discussed his heroism during the Nazi occupation. Yet not only did he write letters to Alekhine asking the latter to intercede on behalf of the Dutch martyrs, Dr. Gerard Oskam and Salo Landau, he also put his life or at least his liberty on the line for several others. I learned of one instance from Max's friend, Hans Kmoch, the famous in-house annotator at AI Horowitz's Chess Review. Hans was living at the time on Central Park West somewhere in the Eighties. His wife Trudy, a Jew, had constant nightmares about her interrogations and beatings in Holland by the Nazis. Hans had little money, and Trudy spent much of the day in bed screaming. Enter Nina. My wife was working in the New York City welfare system and managed to get them part-time assistance. Hans then confided in me about how Dr. E greased palms and used his in­ fluence to save Trudy's life by keeping her out of a concentration camp. But mind you, I heard this from Hans, not from Dr. E, who was always Max the mum about his good deeds. Mr. President In 1970, Max Euwe was elected president of FIDE, a position he held until 1978.

Contact: [email protected] GREATER NEW YORK: THE SPORTS CAPITAL OF DEPRESSION ERA AMERICA JEFFREY A. KROESSLER JOHN JAY COLLEGE OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE Millions of Americans live and die with sports. They tum to the sports pages in the newspaper before looking at the front page or at the editorials. Indeed, many New Yorkers learned to read back to front, because the back pages of the Daily News, the Post, and the Mirror offered the sports headlines. For that reason alone, because so many care so deeply about sport, historians have an obligation to take the subject seriously. Any history of the American experience covering the prosperity of the 1920s and the depression of the 1930s quite simply, is incomplete if it neglects sports. In the Roaring Twenties, sport penetrated American life through the media to an unprecedented extent. Radio and newsreels, as well as newspapers in many languages focused popular attention on baseball, horse racing, football, boxing, and the growing sport of basketball. Upper class pursuits like golf, tennis, and polo gained also an unlikely mass following.
