Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Infobox games The 1st Winter Maccabiah (Шаблон:Lang-he; Шаблон:Lang-pl) was held in Zakopane,[1] Poland from February 2 to 5, 1933.[2] Coincidentally, the opening ceremony took place two days after Adolf Hitler was appointed chancellor (January 30, 1933).

History

Following the successful games of the 1st Maccabiah in 1932, there was a growing interest in winter sports among the European nations. The Maccabi federation of Poland was in charge of organizing the Winter Maccabiah.[3] In the 1930s, that federation was strongest pillar of the Maccabi World Union, consisting of 30,000 Jewish athletes members. The games were met with great opposition;[4] the Gazeta Warszawska newspaper encouraged Polish youth to intervene during the games to prevent the "Jewification of Polish winter sports venues".[5]
