	YPs Get a History Lesson: The Nazi Olympics Berlin 1936
	February 13, 2008
	YPW members had the opportunity to get a history lesson at Mosaic's February cultural highlight event: The Nazi Olympics Berlin 1936. Susan B. Bacharach, curator of the traveling exhibit, provided some insight into the history of the games. Additionally, she discussed some media coverage of the 2008 Beijing Olympics and the comparison that is being drawn to the 1936 Berlin Olympics. The exhibit has been traveling around the country and after the trip to Wichita, will return to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., where it will be displayed during the 2008 Beijing Olympics. The exhibit opened in Wichita on January 12th and will remain on display at the Kansas Sports Hall of Fame through April 6, 2008.
