Beschreibung
The wave pool at the famous Lunapark in Berlin, where eleven-year-old schoolgirl Felice Schragenheim (1922-1945) took her test of 75 minutes of "endurance swimming" on September 4, had been considered the largest indoor swimming pool in Europe since it opened in 1927. The National Socialists despised the huge amusement park at Halensee as an "eyesore of the West" and ensured that it had to close its doors in October 1933. At that time, Felice could not have known that a few years later, as a Jew, she would be forbidden to visit any public swimming pool.
