Biography
Born on January 2, 1900 in Krakow in the family of a shoemaker. Pupil of the Krakow Jewish club "Jutzhenka" [3] .
He spent only two matches for the national team of Poland , but entered his name in its history. In the spring of 1922, he took part in a match lost by the Poles with the Hungarian national team (May 14), and two weeks later played in an away match against the Swedes. These were the second and third matches of the Polish national football team in general. In Stockholm, the Poles defeated the Swedish national team 2: 1, and Klots scored the first historic ball for white and red in the 23rd minute, with a free-kick, [4] .
During the war he was a prisoner of the Warsaw ghetto , where he died in 1941.
