One of the countless lives destroyed by the nazis during the #holocaust - Fredy Hirsch was not only a #football player and a coach from #Aachen, but also a #gay man. I recommend having a look at his story in the article linked in the toot below.
11 February 1916 | A German Jew, Fredy Hirsch, was born in Aachen. An athlete & teacher.
Deported to #Auschwitz from the #Theresienstadt ghetto on 6 September 1943. He looked after children in the family camp for Jews from Theresienstadt. He perished in the camp on 8 March 1944.
Read an article about Fredy Hirsch Dr. Anna Hájková: https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/arts-letters/articles/fredy-hirschs-lover?fbclid=IwY2xjawP36CVleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETF4bkROY3V4cm9hRDFhQVRlc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQPNTE0NzcxNTY5MjI4MDYxAAEezq-59zva1nhHpi3XPWD9y8XK6qqy1-PU3tr4NMn9WEGx5KDWuDd1ap8V4Lg_aem_C_r1YV7T1AfacY-tjrLayA
