Den judiska idrottsklubben Hakoah Wien hade under 1920-talet ett av Europas bästa fotbollslag. De vann österrikiska ligan, gjorde flera utlandsturnéer och drog till sig duktiga spelare från hela Centraleuropa. Laget hade supportrar bland judar över hela världen. Allt fick ett abrupt slut när nazisterna marscherade in i Österrike 1938. Klubben slogs i spillror och många av medlemmarna mördades i Förintelsen. Men några överlevde och kunde föra klubbandan vidare, inte minst några av de gamla storspelare som blev tränare runt om i världen - bland annat i Sverige - och spred läran om den snabba, tekniska passningsfotbollen. Utifrån ett tidigare delvis okänt material berättar fotbollsexperten Gunnar Persson om de många fascinerande och gripande livsöden som kretsar kring Hakoah - en historia där fotboll, identitet och politik vävs ihop till en annorlunda bild av nittonhundratalets dramatiska historia.
