Ankie Spitzer’s husband Andrei was one of the eleven Israeli athletes killed at the Munich Olympics in 1972. She started a petition on Change.org asking the International Olympic Committee to hold a minute’s silence at the London Olympics to remember her husband and his teammates, and her campaign has taken off.

You and over 80,000 people from around the world have signed her petition, and her campaign has been covered by international media from the New York Times to The Guardian. 

Now, the US Senate and the Canadian and Australian parliaments have all passed resolutions calling for a minute’s silence to mark their memory, and the German Foreign Minister has joined other politicians in supporting her call.

You can help Ankie grow her petition, and keep attention focused on her campaign, by sharing it with your friends and family. Click here to share her petition on Facebook. 

Thanks,

Michael Whitney
