¶ Gra Rueb created the Van Tuyll monument for the Olympic Stadium for the 1928 Summer Olympics, which became a topic of discussion in the years following World War II. The Olympic salute performed by the depicted athlete was increasingly seen, albeit unintentionally, as a representation of the fascist/Hitler salute. This led to the statue's removal in March 2022. - Wikipedia.
