Temporary exhibition: “Sport and Athletes at KL Auschwitz”

Publié le 11 March 2025

From 20 March to 10 December 2025 at the Kazerne Dossin

As shown in the recent film El amor en su lugar (Love in its place), which depicts how the Nazis starved the Warsaw ghetto of what little energy it had left, art played a role in helping people to survive. The same was true of some of the sports movements in the camps, enabling the deportees to hold out, but also being exploited by their executioners to punish them even more physically. Letters, photos and personal accounts retrace the journeys of athletes in the Auschwitz concentration and extermination camp.
