Biographical data
Name: Porath, Yosef  
   Also known as: Yosef Porat; Heinz Josef Foerder
Born: 7 June 1909
Died: 18 May 1996
 
Notes:
Gaige, in Chess Personalia gives name as 'Porat[h], Yosef'. In Chess Tournament Crosstables, he appears as 'H. Foerder', except at Gleiwitz 1927, where he is listed as 'M. Foerder', presumably an error.
