David Bolchover's new book 'Digging Deep' traces the story of a star Jewish football team whose members were erased by the Nazis, arguing that the lack of Jewish greats in modern soccer is no accident, according to The Times of Israel.
The Times of Israel reports on David Bolchover's new book, 'Digging Deep,' which investigates the fate of Jewish soccer players who were killed in the Holocaust. Bolchover argues that the systematic elimination of Jewish players by the Nazis explains the scarcity of Jewish stars in world football today. The book traces the story of a notable Jewish team whose members were murdered, their legacies largely forgotten. The article is based on the book's publication and Bolchover's research.
