Anna "Ans" Dresden-Polak (née Anna Polak) (24 November 1906 – 23 July 1943) was a Jewish Dutch gymnast.[1][2][3]
She won the gold medal as member of the Dutch gymnastics team at the 1928 Summer Olympics, in her native Amsterdam.[4][5] She was one of five Jewish members of the team, which included Stella Blits-Agsteribbe (who was killed in Auschwitz), Lea Kloot-Nordheim (who was killed in Sobibor), and Judikje Themans-Simons (who was killed in Sobibor).[3][5] Their coach, Gerrit Kleerekoper, was killed in Sobibor as well.[5][6]
She was born in Amsterdam, and died in Sobibor extermination camp. From Westerbork concentration camp she was deported to Sobibór where she was murdered on 23 July 1943,[7] together with her six-year-old daughter Eva.[8][9] Her husband Barend Dresden was killed a few months later in 1944 in Auschwitz concentration camp.[9][10]
She was inducted into the International Jewish Sports Hall of Fame.[4]
