The Olympics and the Holocaust

This upcoming Olympic Games provide an opportunity to connect Holocaust history with this momentous event. In 1936, Nazi Germany hosted the Summer Olympic Games, promoting an image of a strong and unified nation while attempting to hide the regime’s targeting of Jews and Roma. In this Echoes & Reflections webinar, delivered by Sheryl Ochayon Echoes & Reflections Director at Yad Vashem, they will tell stories of Nazi persecution against Jewish, homosexual, Sinti, and other athletes—as well as acts of individual resistance—during the 1936 Berlin Games.
