Dear members and friends of the CH&LS,

It was on July 5, 2019, that I was able to publish my last post on our website. It was about the 76th auction at Klittich-Pfankuch in Brusnwick.

76th Auction at Klittich-Pfankuch auction house on 22nd June 2019

After almost six years of "hibernation," I was able to attend the 89th auction on November 21/22, 2025. It made me happy to meet many friends from the "good old days" and to feel so welcome.

Before that, I had surprised Siegfried Schönle on November 11, 2025, in Wismar, where I was able to attend his wonderful lecture. I was pleased to purchase his book on Schach im DP-Lager Landsberg und im Ghetto Terezín / Theresienstadt [Chess in the DP Camp Landsberg and in the Terezín/Theresienstadt Ghetto].
