A Survivor's Tale: 1972 Munich Olympic Games Terror Survivor Speaks Out
Daniel Alon, an Israeli Olympic athlete who survived the Munich massacre in 1972, will speak at Miami on November 9th at 5:00 pm in Multipurpose Room C of the Shriver Center.
The talk is free and the public is welcome.
Daniel Alon was Israel's champion fencer for many years, representing Israel in international competitions before the fateful trip to Munich for the Summer Olympics, when 11 Israeli hostages were murdered by a Palestinian terrorist Group, Black September. For many years, Alon kept silent about the tragedy he witnessed, but since the release of the recent Steven Spielberg movie, 'Munich,' he has begun to tell his story.
