80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz

On January 27, 1945, Red Army soldiers liberated the largest German concentration and extermination camp, Auschwitz. Around 1.5 million people were killed here, around a million of them Jews. Auschwitz stands worldwide as a symbol of the Shoah and of the murder of millions, meticulously planned and carried out by Germans. On the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the camp, we remember those associated with SV 98 who were humiliated, persecuted or murdered under National Socialism.

Opposition Check: Karlsruher SC

Left hook, 'One hundred and eightyyyyyyy', and hand over the baton. Doesn't sound like football – and that's true. KSC is often associated with professional football, but with the sheer number of titles the club has won, it's worth looking beyond the pitch. Titles from Baden-Württemberg to Rome.
