β¦ Synopsis
As millions were caught up in the conflict of World War II, soccer emerged as both a response to domination and a means of manipulation by those in power. Soccer under the Swastika reveals this little-known part of history, rescuing from obscurity many poignant survivor testimonies, old accounts of wartime players, and the diaries of survivors and perpetrators. In victim accounts and rare photographs-many published for the first time in this book-hidden stories of soccer in almost every Nazi concentration camp appear. To these captives, soccer was a means of survival, a glimmer of joy between daily beatings and torture, and a show of resistance against the most heinous regime the world had ever seen.--Publisher description.;Illustrations -- Foreword / Simon Kuper -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- Soccer under the Swastika -- War Minus the Shooting -- The Match of Death -- The Beautiful Game in the KZ -- Genius on the Danube: Requiem for Vienna's "Decadent" Football -- Football in the Polish Killing Fields: Eyewitnesses to Nazi Terror -- The Curious Story of Dutch Soccer during Nazi Occupation -- Ghetto Soccer in Liga Terezin -- After the Catastrophe -- Notes -- Bibliography -- Index -- About the Author.
