There are a few people in Germany who want to see Berlin bid for the 2036 Summer Olympics to mark the 100th anniversary of the Hitler-Nazi Games. The proponents think it could be a teachable time for the world in how propaganda was used to promote the Games and the Nazi regime. Germany has hosted two Summer Olympics in 1936 and 1972. There was a stain on both athletic competitions. Political statements and the Olympics have gone hand-in-hand since 1904. The Olympics is a global platform and people have always seized that moment. This arts program is made possible in part by a 2020 HEART (History, Education, Arts Reaching Thousands) Grant from the Union County Board of Chosen Freeholders.
