Erdős problem 918

A question of Erdős and Hajnal [ErHa68b], who proved that for every finite kk there is a graph with chromatic number ℵ1\aleph_1 and ℵk\aleph_k vertices where each subgraph on less than ℵk\aleph_k vertices has chromatic number ≤ℵ0\leq \aleph_0.

Is there a graph with ℵ2\aleph_2 vertices and chromatic number ℵ2\aleph_2 such that every subgraph on ℵ1\aleph_1 vertices has chromatic number ≤ℵ0\leq\aleph_0?
