The Master Race Loses the Race
//**How can one man shatter a hateful**// //**myth?**// The 1936 Summer Olympic Games were held in the German capital of Berlin. For German leader Adolf Hitler, the event presented a golden opportunity. Hitler had risen to power telling of the greatness of the German people—and of the racial inferiority of certain other groups, such as Africans. The Olympic Games, many Germans believed, would provide proof of this racist idea for the whole world to see.  The U.S. Olympic team included many African American athletes. Among them was track star Jesse Owens. In an amazing performance, he captured gold medals in the 100-and 200-meter dashes, the long jump, and a relay. As he stood on the podium before the German crowd, he was living proof that Hitler’s views on race were wrong.  Unfortunately, Hitler and Germany failed to learn the lessons of Owens’s example. Hitler’s hold on the German people was strong, and his message of hate, anger, and false pride had taken firm root. As you will read, he was merely one of several powerful and ruthless leaders to emerge during this time of turmoil and uncertainty.

1. How does Hitler think the 1936 olympics will help Germany? 2. How does Jesse Owens disprove Hitler's view of race?
