One day, from among the Hungarian officers guarding his unit, Attila recognized a lieutenant colonel as an old friend from the Amsterdam Olympics, Kalman Cseh, who had participated as an equestrian. Attila called out to Cseh, who recognized him. The Hungarian officer turned to one of his ordinates and said, “Make things hot for the Jew!” The great Olympian who had brought honor to Hungary was ordered to undress in the frigid weather and climb a tree. Then he was ordered to sing like a rooster. He was then sprayed with water, which froze to his naked flesh. He died shortly thereafter on January 20, 1943. These tragic events were witnessed by Károly Karpati, a Jewish wrestler from Hungary who in 1936, before Hitler’s own eyes, defeated the German National Champion to capture the gold medal of the Berlin Olympics.
