Chapter 1 - HISTORY OF THE PARALYMPIC GAMES

Physically fit athletes are currently competing in the Olympics. But those who have physical or mental limitations also have the desire and right to play. Paralympic for all such people.

To find the source of the Paralympics, one has to go to a Jewish German doctor named Ludwig Gutmann. He was persecuted by the Nazis during World War II. When he fled to England with great difficulty, the government asked him to open a hospital for war wounded soldiers.
