Walter Frankenstein, a remarkable figure who survived the Holocaust by hiding in Berlin with his family, has died at the age of 100. His death was confirmed by Klaus Hillenbrand, a close friend and author of a book about Frankenstein, as well as by the foundation managing Berlin's Holocaust memorial. Frankenstein's life was a testament to resilience and the importance of remembering history's darkest chapters.

Born in 1924 in what is now Poland, Frankenstein's early life was marked by the rise of the Nazi regime. By 1936, his Jewish heritage barred him from attending public school in his hometown. With the assistance of an uncle, he moved to Berlin, where he continued his education and trained as a bricklayer. It was at the Jewish Auerbach'sche Orphanage that he met his future wife, Leonie Rosner, beginning a partnership that would see them through the horrors of the Holocaust.

Frankenstein's firsthand account of Kristallnacht in 1938, a night of widespread violence against Jews in Germany and Austria, offered a chilling glimpse into the era's brutality. From the roof of the orphanage, he witnessed the destruction of synagogues and the terror that would escalate in the years to follow. His experiences during these times, including forced labor starting in 1941, underscored the extreme measures he and his family took to survive.

In his later years, Frankenstein dedicated himself to educating younger generations about the Holocaust, ensuring that the memories of those who suffered would not fade. His passing marks the loss of a vital link to a pivotal period in history, but his legacy as a survivor and educator will continue to inspire and inform.

IFK Värnamo's Allsvenskan survival hopes were extinguished on Sunday despite a dramatic stoppage-time equalizer from Marcus Antonsson against IF Brommapojkarna. The 1-1 draw at Finnvedsvallen mathematically confirmed Värnamo's relegation to Superettan with three matches remaining in the season. Victor Lind had given Brommapojkarna a late 1-0 lead with just six minutes remaining, setting the stage for Antonsson's last-gasp intervention that ultimately proved insufficient.

The result leaves Värnamo at the bottom of the table, nine points adrift of Östers IF who occupy the relegation playoff position. With Östers IF set to face fellow strugglers Degerfors IF in the next round, at least one of those clubs will reach 26 points—a tally Värnamo cannot match as their maximum possible points total stands at 25. This mathematical certainty confirms Värnamo's immediate return to the second division after three seasons in the top flight.

Värnamo's relegation marks the end of a promising top-flight journey that began with their Superettan championship in 2021. The Småland club followed their promotion with a tenth-place finish in 2022, then surprised many by finishing fifth last season before securing survival through a playoff victory against Landskrona Bois. This season's struggle has seen the team manage only one win, seven draws, and multiple losses across their campaign.

Brommapojkarna, meanwhile, secured a valuable point that strengthens their position in eleventh place, maintaining a four-point cushion above the relegation playoff spot. The Stockholm-based club made one lineup change from their previous outing, with Junior Martinsson Ngouali replacing Kåre Barslund. Värnamo coach Arne Sandstø also made an adjustment, fielding Simon Thern instead of Carl Johansson as both teams sought crucial points in their respective survival battles.
