Back to Berlin (2018)

After World War II, the European Maccabi Games, known as the Jewish Olympic Games, was held in Germany for the first time in the summer of 2015. In the past, it was completely unthinkable for Germany to host the event, and the venue was the Berlin Forest Theater built by Hitler for the 1936 Berlin Olympic Games. A torch escort ceremony will be held for motorcyclists to escort the torch to the opening ceremony in Berlin from Tel Aviv, Israel. This torch relay ceremony pays tribute to history and is of unprecedented significance in modern times. From 1930 to 1931, the Maccabi Games sent riders from the then British Palestinian trusteeship to various parts of Europe and America, looking for Jewish athletes to participate in the first Maccabi Games held in Tel Aviv in 1932. This can be called one of the most creative public relations events in history. In 2015, riders will continue to follow in the footsteps of history, but this time they will make a detour through Auschwitz, Germany.
