A Survivor's Tale: Daniel Alon Speaks Out
|
|
Israeli Athlete on 1972 Munich Olympic Team Shares His Experiences
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 most of the Israeli
Olympic team and their coaches were taken hostage.
11 of the 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.

The Clothesline
Project The Clothesline
Project honors survivors as well as victims of
intimate violence. Anyone who has experienced such
violence at any time in their life, is encouraged to
come forward and design a shirt. Victim's families
and friends are also invited to participate. It is
the very process of designing a shirt that gives
each person a new voice with which to expose an
often horrific and unspeakable experience that has
dramatically altered the course of their life.
Participating in this project provides a powerful
step towards helping a survivor break through the
shroud of silence that has surrounded their experience.
The Clothesline Project will be displayed on
Academic Quad from 10:00am to 5:00pm each day.
- Sunday November 5, 3:00pm to 5:00pm, MacMillan
