| Summary: | After the National Socialists came to power in 1933 the Jews in Germany were excluded from most sports clubs. As a reaction to this, and in order to still be able to participate in all kinds of sports, many Jews assembled in Jewish sports associations. In Germany, there were two competing sports organizations: the Maccabi sports movement which was part of the National Jewish/Zionist movement, and the »Sportbund Schild« (shield) which attracted the »assimilated« and patriotic German-Jewish followers. Using the example of the Jewish »Sportgruppe Schild« in Hamburg, which existed between 1933 and 1938, this contribution shows that the Jewish Sports organization meant much more than only physical training and social networking: for the young generation in particular, the »Sportgruppe Schild« played an important part in enhancing their self-confidence and strengthening their Jewish identity. |
