Join the Museum of Jewish Heritage to celebrate the 23rd FIFA World Cup and our new installation, “Tell our boy that I played soccer again”: Soccer Stories from the MJH Collection, which highlights the story of Czech player Paul Mahrer.
Mahrer, a professional Jewish soccer player who represented Czechoslovakia at the 1924 Paris Olympics, was arrested by the Gestapo in 1942 and deported to Theresienstadt, where he was separated from his wife and children.
Charlotte Apter, the museum’s assistant curator, will be in conversation with Chuck Carlson, Dr. Kevin Tallec Marston, James Brown, and Remy Lupica, historians from the Society for Soccer History (S.A.S.H.) and the Brooklyn Football Foundation, along with Paul Mahrer’s descendants Dani Mahrer, Tom Mahrer, and Alec Mahrer, to discuss Paul’s story and the history of Jewish soccer beginning in the interwar period.
