Discover the story of Gottfried Fuchs, the former soccer star whose career with the national soccer team began in 1911. The exhibition No More Offside traces his life’s journey—from great athletic achievements to the painful experiences of persecution, erasure, and escape from the Nazis, and finally to his new beginning in a foreign land, Canada.

From June 3 to June 24, the exhibition can be visited at the Goethe-Institut Toronto from Monday to Thursday between 10:00 am and 4:00 pm.
