Munich 11 Memory Project: Sharing your words of commitment with the world
By recording the importance of this event on the lives of people then and now, we are given a glimpse of the universal meaning of the events that took the lives of the Jewish men.
Our collective commemoration will ensure that they will be remembered every year on September 5, not only at the Olympics for one silent moment, but FOREVER.
May our collective commitment to the memory of the Munich 11 unite us with the Israeli Olympic athletes of today and of future generations.
These Olympic athletes embody the spirit of Israel and the dreams of success that they cultivate, that they achieve in the name of the land, and in turn, in the name of Jewish people everywhere.
And may we continue to collectively take pride in the accomplishments of our fellow Jews around the world and of Israel.
We hope you will share this with your family and friends so YOU can be a part of demonstrating that the memory is not for Israel alone to protect. Now, we can take history and make it PERSONAL - for the sake of Israel, for the sake of the Olympic tradition and of our pride as the People of Israel.
