The 1934 issue actually sums up the championship that year, and in the opening, there is an interesting reference to Nazi Germany: "It was a sports demonstration that German Jews have never seen ... 'Maccabi' proved once again that it is the leading Jewish sports association in Germany ... even German sportsmen present expressed, Even our great haters did not remain indifferent ... The German daily newspapers first covered the Jewish sporting event!".
The Maccabi Berlin Sports Association was established in 1898 under the name "Bar Kochba Berlin". In 1930 it was one of the largest Jewish sports organizations in the world with 40,000 members from 24 countries. The association also included a football department that competed in the Berlin city leagues from 1911–1929. In 1929, the Bar Kochba movement merged with the Berlin Power Movement to found the "Bar Kochba HaCoah" movement. The Berlin HaCoah Team was a relatively successful team when it managed to compete in the lower leagues of the German Championship and was considered a fairly successful professional football club from 1925–1927. In Other sports were particularly prominent, the athlete Martha Jacob, who won the title of German Champion (1929), fifth in the world and runner-up Maccabiah II (1935) in javelin throwing, and Alex Natan, who won the title of German Champion for several years (1926, 1927, 1929 and 1930) and partner in a world record in the 4x100 meter relay.
In the 1930s, with the rise of the Nazi Party, Jewish football teams were rejected by the sports associations from participating in general competitions and were restricted to tournaments and restricted leagues. With the strengthening of Nazi Germany, the end of the Jewish groups came in 1938. Some of the members of Bar Kochba immigrated to Eretz Israel in 1933 and settled in Rehovot, where they joined Maccabi Rehovot.

Leipzig, evening, the sun sets through the window, on the top left is the sign: "A place for the night for fair guests - 8 marks." The owner of the inn holds a flashlight and asks the Jewish inn guests: 'Please sit down' when she points to a pile of straw with her finger. The inn is already full of guests at this time, the Jews are also asking for a place, but the other guests are asking them to leave. Next to the pile of straw on which a man is lying, appears the inscription: JUDEN RAUS - 'Jews out' (the famous phrase used by the Nazis against the Jews during their concentration for deportation), and the person sitting on it waves his finger 'out'. The guest sitting on the right waves a boot aimed at flying towards the unwanted Jews. The Jews, for their part, are trying to seduce the landlady with gold and diamonds in their possession, to stay. Paradoxically the Jews hold gold and diamonds but are dressed in simple and worn clothes, on the left can seen a dog pulling a bone out of the Jew's pocket. Although the assumption that Jews had more money and gold in their pockets than other peoples was exaggerated, there is a historical reason: since the Middle Ages Jews were forbidden to own land and real estate or join guilds, and were constantly subject to sudden expulsion from the cities and countries in which they lived. So they kept gold, diamonds, and other jewelry, in order to survive in other lands to which they were deported.
