On Sunday, Makkabi Berlin will be the first Jewish team to play in the German Cup – a competition started under the Nazis, who prohibited Jewish participation.
Makkabi was founded in 1970 by Holocaust survivors. The team lost its first game 15-1. Co-founder Marian Wajselfisz still laughs about that. He’s been keeping a scrapbook with newspaper clippings about the team from the start.
My story for AP.

I made a short film on Makkabi Berlin, the first Jewish team to play in the German Cup, and it's now on YouTube.
"We would have liked to win the game," Makkabi coach Wolfgang Sandhowe said after his team's 6-0 loss to Wolfsburg.
But Makkabi still made history today. (AP) #MakkabiBerlin #DFBPokal #Berlin #MakkabiWOB
