“…Moreover, club names (Makkabi, Bar Kochba and Ha Koach) constitute ample evidence of their Zionist beliefs. 25 From that time on, German Jewish gymnasts led the gymnastics movement in Central and Eastern Europe on an institutional level. Since Turnen was perceived to be culturally German, the German Turnerschaft addressed gymnasts in an 'all-German' sense.…”

“…39 Non-socialist Zionists were active in the gymnastics movement (Turnerbewegung) and formed the Makkabi, Bar Kochba and Hakoach clubs, as noted above. 25 Assimilated Jews could identify with or join Polish or German (and on rare occasions also Ukrainian) sport clubs.

Until recently, sports history has largely neglected Eastern Europe. Yet new research has shown that historians need to embrace a perspective from the periphery towards the centre, and reach beyond the paradigms of modernization, Sovietization, and the nation-state if Europe's sporting culture is to be fully understood. Focusing primarily on Poland, this article outlines three features peculiar to the region. First, it stresses the importance of trans-national spaces and networks as well as European sub-regions. Missing out on the initial phase of sport's internationalization due to lack of independence, the development of Polish sport was regionally distinct. Sports flourished in Habsburg-ruled Galicia (in Cracow and Lodz especially) under relatively liberal political authorities, but developed more slowly and under different influences elsewhere. Second, the prominence of rural Galicia, inhabited by traditional groups such as Ukrainian peasants or Chassidic Jews, shows that Polish sport did not evolve in line with modernization and industrialization. The relatively slow diffusion of sport in industrial centres such as Warsaw or Silesia contradicts the paradigm of modernization and the notion of East European backwardness. Third, sport history sheds light on phenomena such as multi-ethnicity, migration, integration or disintegration.
