Day football came second: Rooney heads England delegation on emotional tour of harrowing Nazi concentration camp at Auschwitz
Posted Saturday, June 09, 2012 by Dailymail

The first professional footballers to pass through the gates of Auschwitz never left. Like Roy Hodgson, Arpad Weisz had managed Inter Milan.

He had guided the club to the first unified Italian title in 1930. He discovered Giuseppe Meazza, after whom the San Siro stadium that is the modern home to both Milan clubs is also named.
Weisz had played for Internazionale too.

But Weisz was a Hungarian Jew as well as a former Hungary international and he was murdered at Auschwitz, as were his wife, Elena, and his children, Clara and Roberto.
