Join us for the screening of documentary film Liga Terezin, that tells the incredible story of the football league which took place in Ghetto Theresienstadt, from 1942 to 1944.
Jewish prisoners played hundreds of matches in the courtyards of the Barracks where they lived. Thousands of spectators watched a mixture of professional and amateur players and briefly escaped the reality of their terrible plight, shrouded in fear cast by the terror of the transports that sent people to the 'East' and their certain death.
A panel, with some of the biggest names in sports journalism and antisemitism, will follow the screening, including Ben Jacobs (Broadcaster, and Premier League Commentator - TalkSport), Jacob Steinberg (Football reporter - The Guardian), Ivor Baddiel (writer) and Lord John Mann (Independent advisor to UK government on antisemitism).
