Agi Keleti: The Jewish Olympian’s Triumph of Willpower
Description
Agi Keleti's amazing life story chronicles her surviving the Nazis during WWII in Budapest, Hungary and outlasting the Communists to become the greatest female Jewish Olympian of all time. She won 10 Olympic medals for Hungary in women's gymnastics and is the oldest competitor to have medaled in the event. Her incredible drive has left a legacy of courage, strength and inspiration. In this class, taught by Agi's first cousin once removed, Michael Gyory, we will explore life of this resilient Jew and medaled athlete.
