ah, radical lucky i decided to hang up my running shoes and start a family. i had a child of if he hears you that everywhere i go, people ask if i'm still running with the yes i'm still running and the 45 year record is still mine a i think that's a record in itself. how it is. there's no other country where a new national record wasn't set in the 100 meters over that period to talk to the after all, it's one of the most popular disciplines and athletics bow. it was unfortunate that i held it for so long a fact that i was waiting for a talent to come along the miracle lakeesha hall with i followed them because i fell in love with him and it didn't matter where he came
12:32 am
from. what he was doing, a worry was going, i just wanted to be with him. i was totally in love with him. i cannot explain in words what really love is. know that you cannot, if and standards when you are not together and that you are only waiting for him to come home. and waking up in the morning next to this face the day, it was wonderful. it was the best time of my life. i remember that when i was about 3 or 4 years old, i was playing with a neighbor's kid and he said to me, in arabic, kill your father. and my mother tells me that i came home and i said, is that true? and so then she had to sit down and explain more details
12:33 am
about it. i want her to understand the situation here. and i also want her to grow up without hating because not everybody killed her father. it's only a very small group, and she has to know this, and this was for me incredibly important to make that point that she, because she also has to live with, you know, with the facts and she could hate also be was she grew up without a father, i never stopped trying to get recognition from the international olympic committee . i came already a montoya da olympic games in 76. and i asked for a minute of silence or, you know, to recognize what happened with
12:34 am
them. a lot of the promotion, i've come back to the olympic stadium after 45 years and i am wearing the same clothes they gave me here back then from pu, my lawyer. ball me me, paula zab. good them shall is now by him. a takes me back to that time, the mobility vanka lay of the lamp shade, but it before when i 1st came here i was so excited about the olympics. i learned the other and when i left i was so sorry. i love nobody. lafayette. so valeca, mccall, missouri with
12:35 am
12:36 am
mill. i was very happy that deanna could do it whenever he could move on the nasty show that does progress in this country that the athletic program is strong. maybe . maybe now more girls will choose the sport. i clearly esther is a role model for me. i want to be like her and me, my child with me or to come or rather believe that my plan is to qualify for the tokyo or paris olympics. this limplin validate for these let's not forget what happened. so that we will make a vow that this will never happen again, that we will do everything they were never willing. because in montreal, they said there are 22 arab nations participating in olympics and they will leave
12:37 am
and they will go all i said, well let them if they don't understand what you're lympics are all about, then they should go on the next diamond movement, for example, in barcelona, they said to me, you are bringing politics in pickens. i'm bringing politics. you are the biggest political organization there is that they said to me after like 30 years or something, they said it's too early. ah, what do you want me to come when m 80 or something? if you have a problem to say, let's not forget what happened today is wally jews or whatever. don't mention that there were jews or israeli say that they were part of the olympic family. they were athletes, just like you guys are. and then he said, yeah, but the opening ceremony of the olympic games is such a joy fall or occasion. we don't want to do something sad. light is
12:38 am
back. and i looked at the opening ceremony and they remembered their attack in london, and these that are 46 arab nations, my hands are tight, i said, no, your hands were not tight. the hands of my husband and his teammates are not only his hands were tied. their feet were tied also to the, to the furniture in the, in the they finally came around the memorial ceremony that was in real sunday night in honor of the 11th israeli. after work, the head of the, the president of the international rescue committee had this memorial service. he called out to names. he had a minute of silence and looked around and sold his buildings of the olympic village . and i said, andre, at top, 44 years, but now you have it. finally, you and your teammates, the recognition that was long due to you because you came to the olympic games in
12:39 am
order to participate in this festival of love and brother, old and piece of whatever. and you old, came home in the coffins, and this, the world should not forget. i can only be very grateful that they've done this work because it, 50 years later, almost here we are still talking about the story still mentioning it. and it's mostly because they didn't let the world forget of what happened in munich because we know that those will forget his story. are bound story peters. and people looked at me many times. they said, oh yes she is. again. i said, yes, i will be here again until you do the right thing.
12:40 am
finally, after 45 years, this beautiful memorial was erected on the very grounds of the munich olympic village. under age be laundry spitzer, fish fencing trainer 27 years old here. the least bit so if one o legal, ha ha ha. so shawn, sports fits the rebuild, the whole no legal or fun mugs, leg, which is the line with a full line of it for and course on leave of our been so she was dying. sion
12:41 am
is shown here as a really was crazy about his baby daughter. this is a picture when we got married in hollins. as a fencing trainer his students came, surprises came out. and this is the muskets of the olympic games of munich. and when i came into the room to take his personal things, there was really nothing to be taken because everything was bloody and so on. but the only things i took was this little dog that he bought for the baby, our baby a nope. we still have of course felt that and from all the athletes, you know, we have, 1st of all things. they were family men, they were, they had shore and they did all kinds of things. and it was important for me that this will be shown that they were not only a name, but that they see all these people. why i did it gives you a spokesman for the interior ministry announced that the olympic games would
12:42 am
continue to focus on believable acadia dom sheila, implicitly life return to normally with that was painful because we had left the blood of our loved ones that are im, cylinder, or even a seamless image, more people want to hear the store. i left field habash. i have to start from the beginning again. and again. this become a part of me to hide. apparently i still do it because we're talking about it right now. i am convinced that if the world would have reacted differently in munich because munich was more or less the opening shot for international terrorism that was terrorism before, of course,
12:43 am
but not on the skill that the whole world was watching. if even the international olympic committee, which is a very powerful organization, if they would have taken stand and condemned it, it would not be in this situation as at this. now it's, it's a crazy situation here with them. for the last 30 years, i've been working like a foreign correspondent for dutch belgian television and radio reporting on the middle east. i'm often in the gaza strip. for me it's very important to show what is happening here. i tried to show both sides objectively, although objectively doesn't really exist. but you know, without this thing this, this cloud that hangs in the back of my head without having this, my history interfere with my opinions or with my subjects or whatever.
12:44 am
ah is it? i don't feel like talking it wasn't a story i will so proud. oh. and wendy stuff. i'll be starting with these through natural. got the papers i saw to do to little bit, but i haven't got to read reading will the letters. i would love to letters for pick, but i know when i took them out after 40 years, i didn't remember all this. pick the writing. i got that far that i
12:45 am
12:46 am
when you have scars on his heels and you don't deal with it. look very much to door to the scar soon too much time passed. you put the lead on it and you go back in your continue for good and worse and that would have been doing more this year. my case, i think a, her other optimistic view will so, and i'm curious else what happening and new things and that's why i don't remember so much. now if i leave behind, so let's tie did with it. i don't know. i mean,
12:47 am
i think that although sylvia had the viciousness about that was possibly a loneliness on her life because it was a life of deception too low. she was very resilient to the trial and ah, ah, acted as if it didn't matter that they'd killed an innocent man an order in front of his pregnant wife. it must have been a moment when ross been afterwards. when she got out of prison, she fell in love with the man she spent the rest of her life. with her defense lawyer, it must have been a moment when she risotto life, i think and reconsidered what was important and went back to her roots in south africa and ultimately and that lift aquatic assistance. and i like that phrase that she used in talking to in his rage on this one. so i want to live in honesty. i think it's, it's, it's very tough actually,
12:48 am
she was living a double life. and you can keep that up. i mean for, for a certain length of time and, and then something goes wrong and, and all you built out is, is sudden exploded and shattered. she was suddenly found to be living ally, and i think that's guessed, that's the admission of that is hard to come to terms with a voices of the birds around here. it can be the wind of the trees.
12:49 am
she couldn't. i think she couldn't stay chosen a better place to lay down and be peaceful. louise hel sent for the end of him. ah, i don't think there is healing for a murder. this loss will go with me till the last day of my life. i think that that saved her the fact that she was so focused on her common ration and getting justice. i think that was her only way to survive and to keep my father alive. i owe it to him
12:50 am
because i know who he was and he was the gentlest and most peace loving person. and to think that they died that his hands and his feet knocked off his glasses broke his bones. i think this is unacceptable. this i will never forgive anyone for doing this. my dad must have been the love of relief because this, that girl, ah, for her to be willing to leave a very comfortable life and come to israel 147 years ago. and her sacrifice or of that for him. and it must have been love. i think she will be always be busy with her, making sure that the munich story is kept alive and,
12:51 am
and i hope for her. but finally, after all these years, she will be able to not forget, but put it to rest. she also deserves till go on it. there took too many years of her life. so i have one more thing on my littlest. i do want a independent investigation committee to really find out what happened because the story is not that simple. that a palestinians came to kill 11th his race. we were denied access to all the documents for 20 years, and somebody stole will worked in the archives in munich. he stole 80 pages and with these 80 pages read a, b was successful and we got 4000 files and,
12:52 am
and hundreds of pictures. and the things that you already read are unbelievable. if you know that you're right outside of munich, 2 weeks before the olympic games, they let palestinians train in a german military camp for what you know, and this is just wanting. there are many, many other things that we found. and i think i, oh, it's not only to my husband and to his friends, but also to history that the right things will be told. and that is my last project . and then i hope i can go home because that was a long and lonely journey. he met you, that master. he must die yet. i will see that your mother did it when she would always to on the tail. that really poor dog is gonna kill him. i'm gonna kill them because you step on it. i love run. yeah. okay.
