to be at the wrong place." Both
acts of terrorism blurred the spir-
it of dreams, brotherhood and
peace of the Games, Rabbi Good-
man said.
Sharing his prayers of mourn-
ing was Atlanta Mayor Bill
Campbell.
"I'm here to say Kaddish with
you," he said, asking those pre-
sent to hold onto their memories
and work towards peace. "The
goals of terrorists may vary, but
the actions always result in the
loss of human lives," he said.
`The world must learn from the
past, while reaching for the fu-
ture."
Among those who can never
forget the past are the children
of the Munich victims. Oshrat
Romano, daughter of weightlifter
Yoseph Romano, said she choked
back tears at the opening cere-
monies in Atlanta.
"Feelings of sadness, anger
and a longing for my father min-
gled with the pride of seeing our
athletes and the sight of the Is-
raeli flag in the stadium," Ms.
Romano said, her voice stunted
again by tears.
Then, speaking directly to the
slain Israelis, she vowed to con-
tinue the campaign of remem-
brance at future Olympics. The
families have been appealing to
the International Olympic Com-
mittee to observe a mo-
ment of silence at the
games.
"We promise you that
we will never let the
world forget that you
came to the Olympics full
of hopes and dreams, but
you returned in a coffin,"
she said.
Standing near the
memorial during the re-
ception, a few relatives of
the Munich victims said
Sunday's ceremony and
the memorial sculpture
were an encouraging
demonstration of support
and compassion by the
Atlanta Jewish commu-
nity.
It was the largest trib-
ute organized by Jews
during an Olympics since
the 1976 Montreal
games, when 5,000 peo-
ple attended a memorial,
said Ankie Spitzer-
Rechess, the remarried
widow of fencing coach
Andre Spitzer. But what
Mrs. Spitzer-Rechess said she
will remember most about the
Atlanta memorial is that it was
the first to bring Palestinians
and Jews together.
"We never thought Palestia-
nians would come to us" to
shake hands, said Rachel Ro-
mano, Oshrat Romano's sister.
"They said they were here to re-
member our fathers. They were
not here for terror. They were
here for peace." ❑
