The MSC soccer team

Report an issue

This is a photo of the members of the MSC soccer team - the acronym came about from the name Maccabi. I don't know its entire name. The photo was taken on 2nd October 1919, before a game between MSC and PTE (Pozsonyi Torna Egyesulet, in Hungarian the Bratislava Athletic Union - Editor's note). Playing for Maccabi was Mozes Lowinger, the brother of my grandmother Jolana.

Mozes was a stonemason, and had a workshop on Venturska Street. He died during the Holocaust.
