Jews and the Olympic Games: The Clash Between Sport and Politics : with a Complete Review of Jewish Olympic MedallistsSussex Academic Press, 2004 - 268 էջ "There is a collection of stories making up the history of the Jews at the Olympic Games. This is partly due to the prodigious - and widely underestimated - success of Jewish athletes at the Games, but also owing to the special history of the Jewish people in the twentieth century - first, as victims of racism in Europe and then, following the establishment of modern Israel in 1948, in the ongoing struggle for peace in the Middle East. Many of the athletes depicted here fought battles both on and off the running track. The personal drama and enduring humanity of their stories goes beyond sport and embraces politics, heroism and resilience. The Olympic Games served to combat persecution: in sport, the best competitor always wins. |
