Howard Jacobsen once said “Sport is something Jews don’t do.

Yet over the years Jews have participated regularly in the Olympic Games as athletes and coaches – Mark Spitz, Harold Abrahams, to name but two, and one of them was. There have been the dark times

– the Berlin Olympics of 1936, and the Munich Olympics of 1972, but also some glorious moments.

Tony’s talk will span the period of Olympic history and look at some of the characters involved, and some of the key moments when Jewish and Olympic history became intertwined.

There will be one or two surprises, as well as one exceptional person in particular, the founding father of the Paralympics.
