@WMLibraries (2/3) Willy Meisl was Germany's leading sportswriter of the 1920s. As an Austrian of Jewish decent, he was forced to flee Nazi-Germany in 1934 & continued to write & report in England, where he gained post-war recognition as one of the world's best soccer critics. @WMLibraries

The booklet was distributed just 10 days after the end of the games. @WMLibraries #Tokyo2021 https://t.co/8k5eEAW5te -

Designed by children's book illustrator Victor Chizhikov, Misha the bear was the 1980 Moscow Olympics' mascot. Misha was an integral part of the Olympic ceremonies & was one of the first mascots to achieve great commercial success. @WMLibraries #Tokyo2021 (Rene A. Henry Papers) https://t.co/2EOfBcy6WS -
