Judit Polgar
Rory Kennedy's new Netflix documentary Queen of Chess explores chess prodigy Judit Polgar's rivalry with Garry Kasparov but largely ignores her Jewish heritage. The film highlights the Polgar sisters' upbringing as part of a social experiment in Soviet-era Hungary. Critics note this omission overlooks key aspects of their family's Holocaust survival and antisemitic challenges.
