Miklós Sárkány (15 August 1908 – 20 December 1998) was a Hungarian water polo player and Olympic gold medalist.

Four years later he again won the gold medal with the Hungarian team, playing three matches at the historic 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin, sponsored by the Nazi government.

[1][2] Many Hungarian Jews shared their fellow citizens' passion for sport and viewed participation as a means of assimilation.

In September 1935, Nazi Germany passed the Nuremberg Laws, having boycotted Jewish businesses forcing many to close, the laws stripped Jews of their German citizenship, barred them from many professions such as theatre, law, and medicine, removed their right to vote or hold office, greatly limited their ability to attend public schools, Universities or obtain doctorates, and prevented them from being treated at Municipal hospitals.
