Sex,sports and Holocaust
4|
An interesting historic in-site: “The German track and field association (DLV) has reinstated the 1.60 meter record and requested that Bergmann, 95, be installed in Germany’s sports hall of fame.” It is good modern Germany has finalised this anti-Semitic discrimination at last also it was not utterly clear of “she was a man” notion as published in the first issue of the DW World cited.
Unlike substituting her in team-1936 competitor referred to as “she” in early WEB information, G. Bergmann was not hermaphrodite or same-sex amour person.
She was lucky enough to survive the Holocaust as the Jew by leaving to the States if even no gender issues had been involved.
Anyway, it is a really amazing story!
G.Bergmann then and now.

Probably, a record could be reinstated much early otherwise.
Google ”Dora Ratjen” if you want to know more about it.
Life is really amazing.
