| Summary: | This article provides an overview on both Jewish sport in Swiss metropolises and anti-Semitism in the Swiss sports system in the early 20th century. A number of Jewish sport pioneers considerably contributed to the formation and development of the Swiss sports system during the Belle Époque and again in the interwar period, be it as athletes, coaches, officials or journalists. At the same time, a small movement of Maccabi clubs emerged which would participate in the first international Maccabiah Games during the 1930s. However, anti-Semitism was not unknown in the early Swiss sport system. Whilst the article identifies a number of persistent anti-Semites amongst sports officials of the period considered and uncovers anti-Semitic mechanisms in individual sports associations, the full extent of discrimination against Jews in Swiss sports is yet to be explored. |
