"The Weight of History, The Power of Apology", with Author Warren Perrin
Please join us as Warren Perrin discusses his new book about Olympian David Berger, “The Weight of History, the Power of Apology“.
David Berger was a Jewish American weightlifter who was one of 11 Israeli athletes held hostage and murdered by Black September terrorists during the 1972 Munich Olympics.
“Perrin’s book is haunting, perceptive, and ultimately hopeful. By weaving together, the stories of three weightlifters from very different backgrounds, ethnicities, and religions, he successfully presents how diversity and inclusion bring us together to overcome challenges and dismantle hatred and bigotry. Perrin ingeniously shows how a simple sport such as weightlifting helped these men discover themselves in this complex world and soar higher than they could have possible imagined.”
