2008
Overview
[...] though that kind of high-culture thoroughness might be expected, we also meet flyweight Stanislaw Rotholc (1912-1996), the first Jewish boxer to become a Polish national champion, and Zishe Breitbart (1883-1925), a Yiddish-speaking circus strongman who, \"flanked by the Zionist flag,\" regularly \"bent rods into horseshoes, bit through chains, and pounded nails into boards with his fist\" not to mention balanced a platform of motorcycles on his stomach.
