[2] At the 1934 European weightlifting championships in Genoa Fein again won a gold medal, which he shared with 1932 Olympic champion René Duverger.

[4] He won the gold medal in the lightweight class with a world record lift of 342.5 kilograms (755 pounds), with splits of 105+100+137.5, sharing the win with Anwar Mesbah, with whom his match had ended in a tie.

Fein became one of only thirteen Jewish Olympians to medal in the games which were held during Adolph Hitler's Nazi government, and following the imposition of the anti-Semitic Nuremberg laws.

Jewish businesses had been boycotted and Jews could not serve in the legal profession, the civil service, teach in secondary schools or universities or vote or hold public office.

[1] Dr. George Eisen of Nazareth College included Fein on his list of Jewish Olympic Medalists, and an account of Fein's overcoming an early deficit to earn a tie for the gold medal with Egyptian weightlifter Mesbah is included in Jews and the Olympic Games: the clash between sport and politics: with a complete review of Jewish Olympic medallists.
