One focus of the exhibition is a collection of football shirts from teams forbidden or exiled during the Nazi dictatorship, including clubs like Bar Kochba Frankfurt affected by the dissolution of Jewish organizations in 1938.
Julian noted the collection provides a connection to ongoing exclusion today, emphasizing that discrimination in football is not solely a historical issue, with stadiums often still unsafe for minority and oppressed groups due to racism, homophobia, sexism, antisemitism, and ableism.
He highlighted Pride House Berlin as a safe space for queer fans to enjoy Euro games away from potential discrimination within stadiums, contrasting with the general lack of safety for marginalized groups in football environments.
Julian pointed out that many people are unaware of the historic significance of the Olympiastadion in relation to the Nazi era, mentioning a family's surprise upon realizing the stadium's past during their visit following a football event.
