25 yrs ago, with co-author John, we did a lot of research for Wittgenstein’s Poker on the costly deal with the Nazis (for 2 sisters to be classified Aryan). John has just found the files. A treasure trove. This is the US lawyer’s letter to Ludwig -exposing splits in the Wittgenstein family

From the archive. For 25 years the FBI followed Bobby Fischer’s left-wing mother Regina. This is the file, and how we found out that Bobby’s biological father was not Fischer, but a Jewish Hungarian physicist, Paul Nemenyi.

I wrote a letter to the New Statesman. Of course, I should have written the letter that follows mine.
