My grandma made it.
That thought was 81 years in the making.
Frank s grandmother, Angelika Rädche, qualified to swim for Germany at the 1940 Helsinki Olympics incidentally, rescheduled from Tokyo in the 400- and 800-meter freestyle events. Rädche, who was Uruguayan, lived in Germany at the time.
Then, just a few days later, World War II broke out. The Olympics were canceled.
