"Just as the hand, held before the eye, can hide the tallest
mountains, so the routine of everyday life can keep us from
seeing the secret wonders that fill the world."

Sydney, Australia/JTA — Twenty-
eight years to the day after Arab ter-
rorists murdered 11 Israeli athletes at
the 1972 Munich Olympics, a memo-
rial was unveiled at a Jewish school in
Sydney.
Israeli Sports
Minister Matan
Vilnai was among
800 guests who gath-
ered around a plot in
the heart of Moriah
College, where an
11-sided white mar-
ble base bears the
names of the victims.
Around it are 11
cypress trees, and
topping it is a block
of Israeli basalt volcanic rock in the
shape of an extinguished Olympic
flame.
Another memorial to the slain ath-
letes was unveiled last year in Sydney's
Olympic Park.
Among the guests at the Sept. 27
ceremony were members of the 1972
Australian Olympic team; Walter
Troeger, who was mayor of the
Olympic Village during the Munich
Games; representatives of numerous
countries, including Germany, the
United States, Argentina and France;
and Israeli Olympians participating in
the Sydney Games.
As a light drizzle fell, Vilnai called
on the International Olympic
Committee to institute a minute's
silence in memory of the Munich 11
at the opening ceremony of every
Olympic Games.

echoed throughout the grounds, the
cypress trees were planted.
A consortium of public organiza-
tions and private donations helped
make the memorial possible, and a
similar memorial will be erected in
the Australian Olympic Forest near
Jerusalem.
In the crowd on Sept. 27 was
Shlomit Nir. A for-
mer swimmer, she
was one of two
female members of
the Israeli Olympic
team in Munich.
"When our athletes
were killed, I thought
the Games would
stop. I thought it was
impossible to continue
after such a tragedy.
But the world went
on. Years later, I understood that the
Games had to go on so as not to allow
the terrorists to use the most unifying
event in the world as a political stage.
"Today, I feel so good, so proud that
the Sydney community did this. This is
something I will never forget." 0
