...racist campaign, removing anti-Semitic posters from tourist attractions. The American Olympic committee, reluctant to mix politics and sport, decided to send a team to the games. Europe’s democracies followed America’s lead. The games went on, and Hitler was lauded for their success. The world in 1936 thus condoned the Nazi regime, just as we condone China’s abusive government today...
