SUMMARY:Soccer under the Swastika: Survival and Resistance During the Holocaust
DESCRIPTION:It has been famously said that soccer is war by another means. In the heart of the 20th Century\, war engulfed Europe at precisely the moment the game of soccer was becoming firmly established as the sport of the masses. Soccer is the truly world’s game and that it continued to be played in deadly conditions during World War Two never ceases to amaze. Soccer during the Nazi era was an irresistible force and responses by prisoners in the Nazi German camps and ghettoes were as varied as the camps themselves. As one of the forms of cultural life that appeared during the Holocaust\, sport was also a pursuit laden with the most ambiguity. Though not particularly widespread across the expansive universe of camps within the Nazi sphere\, sport and competition offered human contact\, solidarity\, and\, most importantly\, a means of survival. With the return of the World Cup to the United States this summer\, come and see why soccer meant life! \nDr. Kevin Simpson is a professor at John Brown University and holds a PhD in counseling psychology from the University of Denver. He previously taught for 12 years at Concordia University in Portland and has been a Fulbright Scholar to the Slovak Republic\, teaching sport psychology and Holocaust psychology at Comenius University in Bratislava. A three-time research fellow at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum and a faculty fellow at Yad Vashem\, Dr. Simpson has taught and conducted research across Europe and led study-abroad programs in London and Vienna. He is the author of Soccer under the Swastika\, an award-winning book examining the role of football during the Holocaust that has inspired museum exhibitions in the U.S. and Slovakia and contributed to his receipt of the 2021 Julius Hirsch Prize for combating antisemitism in football. He teaches a wide range of psychology courses and writes on genocide studies\, creativity\, propaganda\, and sport psychology.
