Video Description

A hundred years after the 1936 Games were staged under the Nazi regime, Berlin wants the Olympics back — in the very same stadium where Hitler once stood. City officials say it’s a chance to show how far Germany has come: from dictatorship to democracy, from exclusion to diversity. But critics question the symbolism of celebrating sport on such charged historical ground. Can the Games ever be separated from their ghosts? #Berlin2036 #Olympics #Germany #History #Olympiastadion #KaiWegner #OlympicBid #1936Olympics #SportAndPolitics #Legacy
