Speaking about Harry Kaplan’s accomplishment, Head of Delegation, Neil Kaplan said, “Representing Poland with my son, Harry, at these Games and, on behalf of Team Poland, is an honor and we are thrilled with Harry’s achievements.  Harry has raised the bar on both sportsmanship and success and I hope his actions at these games will be an inspiration for future young Polish Jewish athletes. We will remember these days for a lifetime.”

Harry Kaplan said, “Competing on behalf of the Polish Jewish community had been an honor for me. Even more exciting for me is to share this great success with my Dad. I am proud to continue my family’s legacy in Maccabiah fencing.”

Harry Kaplan’s sister Julie was previously the only fencing medalist in Polish Maccabiah games history (bronze, 2017).
