  • Ladany, Shaul
    SHAUL LADANY- OLYMPIAN AND ULTRA WALKING LEGEND Much of this information is taken from website http://www.jewsinsports.org/ where comprehenisve biographs are kept of may Olympians of Jewish origin. One of the greatest ultra distance walkers in history, Ladany still holds the world record in the 50-mile walk (7:23:50), and the Israeli national record in the 50-km walk (4:17:07 -- set in 1972). Ladany was born in Beograd in Yugoslavia on April 2, 1936. At the age of eight he was sent to the Bergen- Belson concentration camp during the Holocaust. He told the Jerusalem Post in 1972, "...I saw my father beaten by the SS and I lost most of my family there...A ransom deal that the Americans attempted saved 2,000 Jews and I was one. I actually went into the gas chamber but was reprieved. God knows why." He began his athletic career as a marathon runner, but turned to walking in the early 1960s. He soon forced his way to the required international standard and competed in two Olympiads for Israel. At the 1968 Mexico City Games, he finished in 24th place in the 50-km walk with a time of 5:01:06. He then returned to the Olympics at the 1972 Munich Games as Israel's sole male representative in track and field. He again competed in the 50-km walk and improved to finish in 19th place with a time of 4:24:38. The morning after his race, in the early hours of September 4, 1972, Palestinian terrorists broke into the Olympic Village with the intention of taking the entire Israeli delegation hostage.

  • Never Ending Story by Zeev Avrahami
    Never ending story by Zeev Avrahami "Are you a football player?" The story has all the ingredients: Germany, Israel, Jews, Nazis, anti-Semitism, terrorists, academic, history, science, German humor, sports, Olympic games, one Jewish professor who walked away from Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, walked away from the terrorists and never stopped walk- ing since, one German professor, a centimeter before his retirement, who all his life stood and wrote against Nazism, finding his mailbox filled with e-mails calling him a Nazi or from Nazi lovers who call him a hero. We have here security, and this horrible feeling that everything you took for granted and thought would be there for you, is not there all of a sudden. But it is a simpler story. About misunderstandings, fear, lies, the attempt to crave the warm atten- tion of the spotlight before retirement. It is a story about human beings because we cant prove all the other things in this story, and it would be better if we don't even try: it is a story that buried deep in the archive and the deaths' memory, a story that is been surrounded by circle upon circles of landmines. "Are you a football player?"

  • Munich Film Review
    The Story Behind The Story: The Real Events In Munich: (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) One of the so-called Black September kidnappers on the balcony of the Israeli team quarters at the Olympic village The Munich massacre occurred at the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, Germany, when members of the Israeli Olympic team were taken hostage by the Palestinian terrorist organization Black September, assumed to be an operational cover for Yasser Arafat's Fatah group. The attack led to the deaths of 11 Israeli athletes and one German police officer. Five of the eight kidnappers were killed by the police during rescue attempts. Later, a series of Israeli revenge assassinations caused the deaths of two of three kidnappers (hostage-taker Jamal Al-Gashey is still at large) as well as the principal planners. Author Simon Reeve writes that the Munich massacre was one of the most significant terror attacks of recent times, one that "thrust the Palestinian cause into the world spotlight, set the tone for decades of conflict in the Middle East, and launched a new era of international terrorism" (Reeve 2001). The Hostage-Taking: Picture of German police atop the Israeli quarters awaiting orders to raid the compound. The raid was later aborted because the terrorists saw the officers on the roof via news television. www.Hiphopbattle.com • P.O. Box 6313 • Lancaster, CA 93539-6313 • [email protected] • host&hiphopbattle.com According to news sources, the Israeli athletes had enjoyed a night out on September 4, 1972, watching a performance of Fiddler on the Roof before returning to the Olympic Village.
