“Dr. Meisl’s dedication to ama-
teur sports stood the Maccabi’
movement in this country in good
stead. He acted as liaison between
erstwhile leaders of the Maccabi
in Germany and Austria, many *
of whom were either confined to
D.P. camps in Europe or had
resided temporarily in Italy and
the Far East before emigrating
to Israel. When the first national
football (soccer) team came to
Britain in 1949 to play against
Arsenal and Notts County he ran
a seminar for them at Maccabi
House in Hampstead.
“He will long be remembered
as one of Jewry's great sportsmen
and promoter of amateur sports.
The Maccabi World Union will be
eternally grateful to him for the
services he rendered.”
