Biography

[edit]

Nádler was born in Budapest and was Jewish.[4] He was the son of Izsák, a suitcase maker, and Roza Acht, and had six siblings: Bertalan, Emma, Gizella, Illés, Renee, and Rozalia.[5]

He played football for MTK Budapest between 1919 and 1930. Nádler was a seven-time league champion for MTK (1919–20, 1920–21, 1921–22, 1922–23, 1923–24, 1924–25, and 1928–29) and two-time Hungarian Cup winner (1923 and 1925).[3][4][6] He scored six goals in 107 matches in all competitions for the club.[4]

Between 1924 and 1926, Nádler earned seven caps for the Hungary national team.[4] He was a member of the team that participated in the 1924 Summer Olympics,[7] but he did not play in any matches.[8]

Nádler died as a laborer at the hands of the Nazis during World War II.[4] While the place and time of his death is given in some sources as Mauthausen concentration camp in 1945,[4] he died in Germany, in Buchenwald concentration camp, on 12 May 1944.[4][3]
