By keeping the body in health and vigor, one walks in the ways of God.
Maimonides
Jewish life before the Holocaust flourished with creativity and culture, religion and tradition, social life and politics. This exhibition gives visual expression to a lesser known facet of Jewish prewar life - Jews who engaged in sports. Throughout Europe, Jews participated in and competed in many different types of sports activities, some even reaching the Olympic Games. Many of the individuals in these photos were murdered during the Holocaust. This exhibition, which includes photographs, footage, links to Pages of Testimony and personal stories pays tribute to these talented Jewish men and women, and sheds light on yet another facet of Jewish life that was extinguished during the Holocaust.
