Synopsis
Correct title: "Be Strong and Brave: Jews - Sport - Warsaw" -- Polish Jews before World War Two and sporting prowess? It's not the first thing that springs to mind. It doesn't fit the stereotypical image of the Chosen People nor the image of sport during the Second Republic (1918-1939). Our selective historical memory has not left us with such imagery. And even if it did, in the wake of the Holocaust, is it even appropriate to deal with such "trivial" subjects? Our album was created to convince skeptics that the participation of the Jewish minority in physical culture and athletics in the years between the two world wars was not incidental. -- Contents: Judaism and Sport; Warsaw Maccabees; Women and Sport; Chronology of the History of Jewish Sports; Bibliography
