Overview

Auf die Platz The starter's pistol is raised.
The finish line is set in the past and the future.
GET READY.

Based on real events, Olympia 1936 blurs the distinction between fiction and reality. Jewish-American athletes aim to deliver a staggering blow to Hitler on a world Olympic stage.
Hate will fuel the race around the oval where speed is true democracy, and a laurel wreath crowns the victors with the
American Dream.
This is the first book in the Ghost Runners series and originally published in 2010. Subsequently, the novel was gifted a non-exclusive grant to The U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum.

About the Author

Based on real events, the characters in this novel, including well known sports and Olympic heroes, are fictional, including the participants of the 4x100 meter Olympic team, those who ran for the American squad, in Berlin, August, 1936, or those whom did not compete because they were Jewish. This novel is based on two previously published novels: Ghost Runners, an Olympic Dream Betrayed and The White Bridge. Expanded and re-imagined in this edition to include the seeds of American race hatred
in the twentieth century which may be argued to be a prelude to the holocaust and the events portrayed herein. Over a span of forty years, Ghost Runners has been a staple in our household. For a time, it gathered dust until my son resurrected it from the closet one day and urged me to complete it. But history, as people, change each day, and so has Ghost Runners. I am honored that this edition has been gifted to The U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum Library.
