STORYLINE:
The widow of an Israeli weightlifter, one of 11 athletes killed at the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich by a Palestinian group, said that “terror that undermines the values of the Olympic Games must be eradicated.”
Speaking at a memorial ceremony held at the Israeli embassy in Paris, Ilana Romano, widow of Yossef Romano, added that “there is great importance in holding this ceremony since hiding it amid the threats of terror is a surrender that poses a threat to the Olympic idea and its values.”
Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo attended the memorial service on Tuesday, lighting candles with Romano in memory of the athletes who were killed.
Members of the Palestinian group Black September broke into the Olympic Village and took athletes from Israel’s national team hostage on Sept. 5, 1972, with the goal of forcing the release of prisoners held by Israel and two left-wing extremists in West German jails.
Eleven Israelis and a West German police officer died during the attack, including during a botched rescue attempt.
