Margaret Lambert

Margaret Lambert：作为一名犹太运动员，她在纳粹德国的经历充满了歧视和恐惧。她被排斥在体育俱乐部之外，她的家人受到威胁，她面临着在奥运会上宣誓效忠纳粹政权的困境。最终，她被以虚假的理由排除在奥运会之外，这让她认识到自己参赛的资格完全是纳粹德国用来欺骗世界的幌子。 Malcolm Gladwell & Ben-Nadav Hafri：本集节目探讨了Avery Brundage在面对纳粹德国对犹太运动员的歧视问题时的行为和抉择。节目指出，Brundage在1934年访问德国期间，未能客观地评估纳粹德国的真实情况，反而被纳粹德国的宣传所蒙蔽。他的行为可以被解释为对纳粹德国的盲目乐观，也可以被解释为其自身社会地位焦虑的体现。Brundage对纳粹德国的冷漠和对奥运理想的执着导致他未能认识到纳粹德国的真实面目，最终导致美国参加了1936年柏林奥运会。
