    Remembering the Munich Olympics Gene Eisen Terrorists Strike The 1972 Summer Olympics held in Munich, West Germany, were breezing along successfully for the first ten days.

  • Remembering the Fallen
    Remembering the fallen As the world celebrates the Games of the XXX Olympiad in London, I wonder how many will remember that it is also the 40th anniversary of the Munich Massacre. If this was before your time, at the Munich Games in 1972, Palestinian terrorists murdered 11 members of the Israeli Olympic Team. On September 5, 1972, Palestinian terrorists broke into the Olympic Village. They immediately killed two and nine were taken hostage. Efforts to rescue the hostages failed and they were eventually killed. The Olympic Games are a great time to remember that countries can usually put aside their differences and come together for a few weeks on the world’s grandest stage. And while we all have our favorite athletes and sports, I would like to believe most of us enjoy seeing the world come together, sending its best athletes to compete. But as we talk about the history of the Olympics, most don’t talk about the tragedy of the Munich Games. I know what you’re thinking, “Why should we remember something so sad?” It’s simple. We remember because that’s how we heal. Each time there is a tragedy of large proportions, such as the recent shooting in Aurora, Colorado, the Oklahoma City bombing, 9/11, etc., we take a moment to remember those who were lost and those still affected by such tragedies. Remembering the fallen of the Munich Games is no different. With that, I would like to thank Rabbi Ruth Abusch-Magder (on Twitter as @RabbiRuth http://twitter.com/RabbiRuth) for bringing this to my attention and calling for a two-minute moment of silence (turn off your TV if you like) during the Opening Ceremonies.

Map showing the 'Western line' and blast locations. The 11 July 2006 Mumbai train bombings were a series of seven bomb blasts that took place over a period of 11 minutes on the Suburban Railway in Mumbai (formerly known as Bombay), capital city of the Indian state of Maharashtra and India's financial capital. 209 people lost their lives and over 700 were injured in the attacks. Details The bombs were placed on trains plying on the western line of the suburban ("local") train network, which forms the backbone of the city's transport network. The first blast reportedly took place at 18:24 IST (12:54 UTC), and the explosions continued for approximately eleven minutes, until 18:35, during the after-work rush hour. All the bombs had been placed in the first-class "general" compartments (some compartments are reserved for women, called "ladies" compartments) of several trains running from Churchgate, the city-centre end of the western railway line, to the western suburbs of the city. They exploded at or in the near vicinity of the suburban railway stations of Matunga Road, Mahim, Bandra, Khar Road, Jogeshwari, Bhayandar and Borivali.

  • The Munich Massacre
    The Munich Massacre Munich, Germany Munich Olympic Headquarters September 4, 1972 7:00 pm Sunlight glittered on the West German flag, causing the bottom gold strip to shine almost as bright as the stars. Kathrin glanced up at the beauty of her country's flag and said a silent prayer in her head. Nine days ago the Olympic games had started and gone forward without a hitch. She and the rest of the Federal Republic of Germany could not help but feel a swell of proudness in their hearts as the games continued. For so long the world had gazed at them through the eyes of the deeds their parents and grandparents had committed more than 3o years ago. These games marked an opportunity to show the world that they were no longer the blood stricken country they had been in the past. They were a new Germany. Kathrin let her eyes roam the flag once more and the smile waivered on her face. The games were not over yet. She knew well enough the potential that destruction had and she refused to give it a foothold. Entering the Olympic Headquarter building, she brisked her way through security and into her office, where her appointment was already there waiting. “Good evening, Shmuel.” Kathrin said in a warm voice, that filled the room. She smiled and shook his hand. Earlier that day he had asked to meet with her, and by the tone of his voice Kathrin knew that this was not just another friendly visit . She expressed an attitude in which any hostess should have when the head of the Olympic Israeli delegation should ask to meet.
