| Shalom,
How many of our children know what happened at the Munich Olympics of ’72? How is it that the image of the Black September terrorist has become iconic, but we don’t remember the faces and names of the Israeli athletes murdered?
Today, when Israel is under fire, Antisemitism is on the rise everywhere and prominent British and American politicians feel free to openly honor the terrorists or their cause, it is more important than ever to make sure Munich is not forgotten. The memory of our athletes and their legacy must be be given the place it deserves.
Join us in participating in the Israel Forever Munich Memory Project!
