Endre Kabos

Endre Kabos (5 November 1906 – 4 November 1944) was a Hungarian sabre fencer. He competed individually and with the team at the 1932 and 1936 Berlin Summer Olympics and won three gold and one bronze medals. In the fall of 1935, the Nazi regime in Germany had passed the antisemitic Nuremberg laws which stripped German Jews of citizenship, opportunities to receive a public education, and access to many professions and public facilities including municipal hospitals. Jewish businesses had been boycotted and Jews could not serve in the legal profession, the civil service, teach in secondary schools or universities or vote or hold public office.

Kabos was noticed internationally after winning the Slovakian Championships in 1928. Kabos died with many others and only some non-identifiable skeleton parts were found in 2011, when the bridge was being extended.

Kabos was inducted into the International Jewish Sports Hall of Fame in 1986.
