Join the international commemoration of Israel’s fallen athletes — wherever you are on the morning of the Olympic Games’ opening ceremonies.

This Friday morning, a short ceremony at Israel’s embassy in London will pay tribute to the 11 athletes killed at the 1972 Munich games. The event — streamed online at Minute for Munich starting at 10:45 a.m. London time  – will be followed by a global minute of silence at 11:00 a.m.

    Thanks for this, will share this info now

    - am also going to an Olympics party Friday afternoon and have told the host that our family will want to hold a minute’s remembrance in silence, she was positive about it – not everyone sucks in the OIC and IOC propaganda.

    Since the massacre happened at the Olympic games, this is the proper time and place to hold a minute of silence.
