| Summary: | In his new monograph, Henry Wahlig presents, as his subtitle specifies, the history of the Jewish sports movement in Nazi Germany. Sports, he makes clear, played an ambiguous role for Jews in the Third Reich. On the one hand, German Jews were promptly and visibly excluded from sports organizations and activities. On the other, sports provided them with much needed opportunities for social activity and were one of the “most important bastions of self-assertion” (p. 225). Wahlig provides a chronologically structured account of this dichotomy, organized around the 1936 Olympics in Berlin as a turning point, and focusing on the period from 1933 to 1938. |
