Werder im Nationalsozialismus

Jewish fates at Werder Bremen

There is still no comprehensive account of Werder Bremen's club history between 1933 and 1945. The fate of the club's Jewish members is now being analysed for the first time. Alfred Ries, club president before 1933 and after 1945, takes centre stage. The authors bring to light findings that mean Ries' significance must be re-evaluated in future, and in a more positive light than before.

‘First academic study of the club's history during the Third Reich. Comprehensive and richly illustrated.’ - (Weser-Kurier).
