Stadiums and the Holocaust. Some threads with an educational potential

Abstract

The paper presents various threads linking football stadiums in Poland and the extermination of the Jewish people. It seems likely that the suggested topics can be used for educational purposes in schools or other institutions. The topics are as follows: 1. the labour camp at the stadium in Poznań (on the basis of the short film Stadium); 2. a selection of Jews at the stadium in Będzin (the diary of Rutka Laskier); 3. the mass grave at the former sport complex of Skra Warsaw (the book Warsaw 1942 of Franz Blättler and the documentary film A Film Unfinished); 4. Jewish cemeteries transformed into football stadiums (a relation of an inhabitant of Kleczew); 5. stadiums of former Jewish clubs nowadays (with a reference to the reportage Maccabi Voices).
