Jewish Athletes and the Holocaust
During the Holocaust, men and women, young and old, rich and poor, famous and unknown, were killed. Athletes were not spared, and prominent sportsmen and women from all over Europe were murdered at the hands of the Nazis. This exhibition aims to tell the story of the Holocaust through the many stories of Jewish sportsmen and women who died during the war.
​
Sports have an enormous power to unite people and by sharing the stories of these athletes, we hope to inspire future generations to always fight against antisemitism, discrimination and racism, wherever they find it.
