Apr-26-20  jameschess: <Zabludowski> was a celebrated chess player.

He was in the Bialystok Ghetto, the Germans entered Bialystok on 27 June 1941.

From everywhere Germans had driven the Jews in the direction of the Great Synagogue, with about eight hundred inside, they set fire to the building. Those who managed to escape from the burning building were shot. Those who resisted being pushed inside were shot.

Until late that day Jews were driven into the burning building, shot on the streets and in their houses.

Among those who died in the burning Synagogue was Zabludowski.

  Tabanus: The celebrated chess player in Bialystok 1941 probably was Aron, see Aron Zabludowski.

<hemy> Where are you, help! :)

Apr-26-20  jameschess: <Tabanus> <Aron Zabludowski (1909-1941)> is a chess player. You're right.
Apr-26-20  hemy: <Tabanus> Indeed, it was Aron Zabludowski.

  Tabanus: https://www.ancestry.com/interactiv... if you can read it is an immigration card for Nicolai Zabludowski dated 2 July 1948. There's a photo, he is arriving from Paris, stateless, single, he is born <25 January 1913 in Moscou>, parents <Isidore e Tzigel Anna>. I now see the 1946 document also says Moscou.

  Tabanus: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial... Esydor Sabludowski, must be new record in variant spellings.
Apr-28-20  hemy: <Tabanus> You did it !!!

Isydor Zabludowski = Isydor Sabludowski.

The name of Zabludowsky was spelled in German language newspapers as Sabludowski in the articles about the first Baltic Chess Congress in Riga, Latvia (then Russian Empire), in 1899:

Can I now put <Isidor Zabludowski> 29 Aug (Julian: 11 Sep) 1876 - 1943 in the bio? I have not come across any other Isidor candidate.
Apr-29-20  jameschess: <Tabanus> 29 Aug - Julian; 11 Sept - Gregorian.

But differences of 1 day compare to calender convert tables in http://5ko.free.fr/en/jul.php?y=1876

10 Sept 1876 <(29 Aug 1876 o.s. Julian)>

<11 Sept 1876> (30 Aug 1876 o.s. Julian)

Acceptable?

  Tabanus: <jameschess> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grego... says 13 days since 1 March 1900, i. e. also in 1943. I hope that's correct :) Anyway, I suppose it's too early to claim it's him both in Riga 1899-1901, Moscow 1914, Berlin 1920 and Paris 1940. It's almost too good to be true.

  Tabanus: Btw what's the evidence that Reshevsky's opponent in Berlin 1920 was <J> (I.) Zabludowsky? Or Aron Zabludowski. What exactly does Kagan's book say.

  Tabanus: It's about an application from George to become a Brasilian citizen. It also says he is <engenheiro formado pela escola politécnica de Berlim e exerce a profissão técnica de especialista na elaboração de projetos o efilculos de transofm digo de transformadores e outros aparelhos elétricos> (something like electrical engineer graduated from the polytechnic school of Berlin) and has resided in Brasil since 1936.

  Tabanus: <Isidor Gecelovitz Zabludowski> I suppose "Geselowitz" is the right spelling?
---
No more info? The only other Isidor I have seen so far is Dr. Isidor Zabludowski (1850-1906). Of course, the I. (or J.) may stand for other names (Israel, Jacob, etc.), and in Paris 1940 one source even has T. Zabludowski. I'll post a summary list soon.
May-04-20  hemy: <Isidor Gecelovitz Zabludowski>

<Gecelovitz> is representing fathers name.

Getzel is a common Yiddish male's name.
https://www.chabad.org/library/arti...

So it may be Isidor Getzelevich Zabludowski.
