      Jewish Sports Club Closed by Nazis Reopens in Vienna


      The "HaKoach" ("strength" in Hebrew) sports club reopened in Vienna Tuesday for the first time since it was closed 70 years ago by the Nazis in 1938.

      The Jewish sports club, founded in 1909, produced several Olympic athletes before being closed when Adolph Hitler entered Vienna on March 12, 1938.
