Bernard N. Danchik Papers 1936-1937

http://dlib.nyu.edu/findingaids/html/tamwag/alba_033/alba_033.html

Bernard N. Danchik was a New York City clerk and gymnast who traveled to Barcelona, Spain in 1936 with eight other American athletes to participate in the People’s Olympics, which were being held in protest against the Berlin Olympics in Nazi Germany. On July 19, the day the People’s Olympics were set to begin, fighting broke out on the streets in Barcelona, marking the beginning of the Spanish Civil War. The People’s Olympics were canceled, and Danchik returned home with many photographs and souvenirs to commemorate all that he had witnessed.
