Eleven Israeli bikers set out from Haifa to the Maccabiah Games in Berlin and on their way rode through Auschwitz with Israeli flags and the eternal Olympic flame.
The motorcycle journey, called Back to Berlin 2015, set out from Israel early this month and will arrive in Berlin on July 27 for the opening ceremony of the European Maccabiah Games, the biggest Jewish sporting event in the world.

The games will be held in Germany for the first time, 70 years after the end of World War II.
The Maccabiah Games will be held at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin, where the Nazis in 1936 hosted the 11th Olympic Games. That year's Olympics were a showcase for the Nazis' achievements, and athletes of "inferior races"(Jews and blacks) were humiliated.
