The Olympics are about more than sports—at times, the games are also a place of racism and prejudice! Pupils investigate the 1936 Olympics in Berlin, Germany. They analyze the meaning behind the materials included in the United States Holocaust Museum exhibit as well as the Holocaust Reading Passages. Using the knowledge they have gained, they create a debate and written response to the events in Berlin in 1936.
