In the Berlin Olympics of 1936, Hitler promoted his own agenda, but there was a later Olympics also held in Germany: the Munich Olympics of 1972 overshadowed by the tragic and deadly terror attack that targeted the Israeli team, nine of whom were taken hostage. Israel's team was comprised of Holocaust survivors who had made the difficult choice - after "returning to life" - to return to Germany to compete in what was supposed to be the spirit of the Olympic Games. Please join Yad Vashem educator, Yael Eaglstein, for this fascinating webinar.
