Journal of 'Maccabi' - Berlin. Two issues, 1930s
Der Makkabi - Issues No. 11 and 12 (different years) of the German-Jewish Sports Club magazine from the capital, Berlin. November 1930, September 1934. On the title page of the two issues is the historic Maccabi Berlin logo, one as part of a flag, and the other under the title of the issue.
The 1934 issue actually sums up the championship that year, and in the opening, there is an interesting reference to Nazi Germany: "It was a sports demonstration that German Jews have never seen ... 'Maccabi' proved once again that it is the leading Jewish sports association in Germany ... even German sportsmen present expressed, Even our great haters did not remain indifferent ... The German daily newspapers first covered the Jewish sporting event!".
The Maccabi Berlin Sports Association was established in 1898 under the name "Bar Kochba Berlin". In 1930 it was one of the largest Jewish sports organizations in the world with 40,000 members from 24 countries. The association also included a football department that competed in the Berlin city leagues from 1911–1929. In 1929, the Bar Kochba movement merged with the Berlin Power Movement to found the "Bar Kochba HaCoah" movement. The Berlin HaCoah Team was a relatively successful team when it managed to compete in the lower leagues of the German Championship and was considered a fairly successful professional football club from 1925–1927. In Other sports were particularly prominent, the athlete Martha Jacob, who won the title of German Champion (1929), fifth in the world and runner-up Maccabiah II (1935) in javelin throwing, and Alex Natan, who won the title of German Champion for several years (1926, 1927, 1929 and 1930) and partner in a world record in the 4x100 meter relay.
In the 1930s, with the rise of the Nazi Party, Jewish football teams were rejected by the sports associations from participating in general competitions and were restricted to tournaments and restricted leagues. With the strengthening of Nazi Germany, the end of the Jewish groups came in 1938. Some of the members of Bar Kochba immigrated to Eretz Israel in 1933 and settled in Rehovot, where they joined Maccabi Rehovot.
Two complete sheets, very good condition.
