The film Berlin 36 is a German production from 2009. I was unaware of its existence as well as of the facts it reveals, associated with the 1936 Summer Olympics (Olympische Sommerspiele 1936), also identified as XI Olympiad. The opening ceremony of the games featured a short speech by Adolf Hitler. The games took place between 1-16 August in Berlin and had the participation of 3,963 athletes. The film focuses on exposing the creation, by the organizers of the event, of obstacles, manipulations and lies, aiming to prevent the German athlete, Gretel Bergmann, from being summoned to represent Germany in the high jump modality, because she was Jewish.
