Petition for a Minute of Silence in Memory of the Munich 11
Tell the International Olympic Committee: 40 Years is Enough!
At the 1972 Munich Olympic Games, eleven members of the Israeli team were murdered. For forty years their families have asked the International Olympic Committee to observe a minute of silence, in their memory. They have worked for four decades to obtain recognition of the Munich massacre from the International Olympic Committee. Repeatedly, their requests for a minute of silence during the opening ceremonies of the Olympics, starting with the ’76 Montreal Games, have been turned down. The 11 murdered athletes were members of the Olympic family; they should be remembered within the framework of the Olympic Games.
