The 1936 Olympics with Evan Weiner

Germany hosted the Summer Olympics in 1936. The 1936 Berlin Olympics was where Marty Glickman and Sam Stoller were denied an opportunity to run and Gretel Bergman was not allowed on the German Olympic team. This was because they were Jewish. It is also the story of how some Americans wanted to boycott the Games so it would seems they were not going to legitimize the Nazi regime. It is the story of how an American American athlete Jesse Owens ruined Hitler’s coming out party.
