Forgotten by history but unforgettable in spirit, Ernő Egri Erbstein was more than a brilliant football coach—he was a man who always put others before himself.
A Hungarian Jew who survived the horrors of two world wars, Erbstein went on to lead Il Grande Torino, one of Italy's greatest football teams of all time. As a father, husband, and visionary tactician, he transformed the beautiful game while navigating persecution, displacement, and unimaginable loss because of his Jewish faith.
This is the story of a quiet hero whose legacy of courage and humanity continues to inspire generations—a testament to the power of hope in the darkest of times.
