The story in the NY Times about
the mutilated corpses of Munich Massacre victims is not new. In the year 2000
six such pictures were shown in the Oscar-winning documentary produced by the
Swiss Arthur Cohn. The two widows, Ankie Spitzer and Ilana Romano, protested
against this publication and called it bad taste and an abuse of their feelings
and those of their children. In a fax that Ankie showed me, Cohn claimed that
the widows had no rights to the pictures. Even so, in the Hebrew version of the
movie they were omitted and in the English version they were blurred-out (s.
e.g.,http://www.theguardian.com/film/2000/apr/11/world.news).
Cohn refused to talk with me, and then his secretary wrote an aggressive answer to my polite letter.
