Gustav Flatow
Gustav Felix Flatow
( 7 January 1875 – 29 January 1945) was a German gymnast.
He competed at the 1896 Summer Olympics in Athens and at the 1900 Summer Olympics in Paris.
Flatow was Jewish, and was born in Berent, West Prussia.
In 1892, he moved to Berlin.
Flatow competed in the parallel bars, horizontal bar, vault, pommel horse, and rings individual events.
He won no medals, unlike his cousin and teammate Alfred Flatow.
However, both were members of the German team that competed in the two team events, for parallel bars and the horizontal bar.
As Germany won both those events( the horizontal bar unchallenged), Gustav earned two gold medals.
He also competed at the 1900 Summer Olympics in Paris, but without winning medals.
He retired from gymnastics to manage his textile company, which he founded in 1899.
After the Nazi takeover in Germany in 1933, he had to flee to the Netherlands.
On New Year's Eve 1943 he was jailed, and in February 1944 he was deported to Theresienstadt concentration camp, where his cousin had already died in 1942.
Less than one year later he starved to death there at the age of 70.
He lost up to 20 kg at the camp.
When the Nazis took over in Germany in 1933 he fled the country.
He did what so many people did which was trying to escape the Nazis terror.
He went to the Netherlands to find refuge but he was caught ten years latter.
On New Year's Eve 1943 he was jailed for fleeing and in February 1944 he was deported to Theresienstadt concentration camp.
This camp was a combination of a concentration camp and ghetto.
This camp was different that most of the concertation camps.
This camp had two different objectives.
One was for it to be a waystation to the extermination camps.
The other objective was for it to be a" retirement settlement" for elderly and prominent Jews.
This camp was used to try to mislead the German people about what was really happening.
This was the same camp where his cousin who was in the Olympics was sent to.
His cousin had already died there in 1942.
Less than one year after he got there Gustav starved to death.
He was 70 years old when he died on 29 January 1945.
In 1986 journalists discovered his urn, which is now entombed in Terezín near the site of the concentration camp.
In 1997 Berlin honoured Alfred and Gustav Flatow by renaming the" Reichssportfeldstraße"( a lane) near the Olympic Stadium to Flatowallee( Flatow- avenue).
There is also the Flatow- Sporthalle( sports hall) at Berlin- Kreuzberg with a commemorative plaque for both.
The Deutsche Post issued a set of four stamps to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the modern Olympic games.
One of the stamps honors the Flatows.

He competed at the 1896 Summer Olympics in Athens.
He was Jewish.
Flatow was a successful competitor in 1896.
He won the parallel bars, was the runner-up in the horizontal bar, and was a member of the German team that took the gold medals in both the parallel bars and the horizontal bar team events.
He also competed in the vault, pommel horse, and rings competitions.
Flatow's cousin, Gustav Flatow, was also a member of the German gymnastics delegation in 1896.
After his return to Germany he and most of the other German gymnasts were suspended, because the "Deutsche Turnerschaft" (at this time the governing body of German gymnastics) boycotted the Olympic games with the reason that competing is "unGerman."
In 1903, Flatow assisted the founding of the Judische Turnerschaft, the historic and pioneering Jewish sports organization in Europe.
A gymnastics teacher since 1890, he started writing books about his sport in the early 20th century.
In 1933, Flatow was forced to "voluntarily" end his gymnastics club membership, as he was Jewish.
He was prominently active in German gymnastics until expelled by the Nazis in 1936.
A co-founder of the Jewish Gymnastics Club, he was nevertheless honoured at the 1936 Olympics, where all German Olympic champions were invited.
Flatow emigrated from Germany to the Netherlands in 1938 due to Nazi persecution of Germany's Jewish community.
The Netherlands was invaded by Nazi Germany in May 1940.
On 3 October 1942 Flatow was deported to Theresienstadt concentration camp in spite of appeals by the highly placed gymnastics official Christian Busch, where he died of starvation at the age of 73 before the end of the year.
