The 1936 Olympics were held in Nazi Germany at a critical juncture between the building of the racial state and the Holocaust. The world faced a decision about whether to participate in these controversial Games. Canadian athletes, particularly young Jewish athletes, were caught in a dilemma. Should they follow their dreams to the world’s greatest athletic competition or should they boycott the 1936 Olympics? Framing Bodies: A complementary exhibit, FRAMING BODIES: Sport and Spectacle in Nazi Germany explores the relationship between athletics, politics and visual culture during the 1936 Games. School Program Ninety-minute interactive tours of MORE THAN JUST GAMES: Canada & the 1936 Olympics and FRAMING BODIES: Sport & Spectacle in Nazi Germany will be offered from October 26, 2009 through June 18, 2010.
