Member of the French Olympic team Fabien Gilot, who is the grandson of Holocaust survivor Max Goldschmidt, received a silver medal at the Olympic Games in Rio.

The athlete earned the award in the 4 relay race on the 100 freestyle, writes Algemeiner.

After the victory, Gilot showed off a Hebrew tattoo on his shoulder that reads: “Without them, I am nothing.” This is a sign of respect to his grandfather, an Auschwitz survivor, who taught him a lot and played a significant role in the life of the athlete.

Goldschmidt grew up in Berlin and after the endured horrors of the Second World War, he moved to France, where he met his wife and started a family. Fabienne Gilo's father Michel says that his grandfather, who died in 2012, was a source of inspiration for the young athlete and witnessed many of his achievements.

The 4 100 relay was overtaken by the French to the Americans, whose team was played by the legendary Michael Phelps.
