Anne's book for kids about Bobbie Rosenfeld is one of my favorites. ?Although I read it years ago, I still remember many of the features that were so different for athletes, as opposed to today, when training is a full-time activity. Back in the day, athletes worked all day at jobs, then had to fit in practice! ?And taking a ship over to Europe for the games (no flights yet), which could take weeks-- very different.?

One day in September: the full story of the 1972 Munich Olympics massacre and the Israeli revenge operation "Wrath of God" .? Other movies deal with the Israeli retaliation well.? I prefer to show only the part of the assignation of the athletes. One little correction to my list.? I listed collective biographies,? but added Anne Dublin?s book Bobbie Rosenfeld The Olympian who could do everything. . Anne is an AJL member and an award winning author. I could not resist it.

The Golem's Mighty Swing by James Sturm - the only Jewish baseball graphic novel. A nice touch - mentioned in an interview, but not in the book itself - was how Sturm incorporated the text of an anti-Semitic opinion piece in a newspaper and reprinted it as a radio broadcast in the story. FYI, the syndicated comic strip Gil Thorp had a 10-month storyline in which high school football star (& then basketball star) David Green was criticized for not playing games on the sabbath. When they decided to drop the character, they skirted around the issue of Green dating a non-Jewish girl by having his family move to another city. You (& your patrons) can read the story online by going to http://www.gocomics.com/gilthorp/2001/09/01 and advancing until http://www.gocomics.com/gilthorp/2002/06/08 Steven M.

The graphic book is titled Moussa et David : Deux enfants d'un meme pays (trans : Moussa and David : Two children in the same country) written by Maurice Rajsfus. It may be purchased online at Amazon France - http://www.amazon.fr You may watch a teaser (with Jewish and Arabic music) with screen shots of the pages at http://www.kewego.fr/video/iLyROoaftf1J.html Basically, David and Moussa become friends through playing soccer.
