I got 'Munich' after I had done 'In Treatment' in Israel, which was very successful. But, when I actually shot it, nobody knew it was going to be sold all over the world and be so successful.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Of course the Munich tragedy was the biggest event in my career and the most terrible.
My stay in Munich was the scene of my complete liberation.
I had had a continuing smoldering fury about the treatment of Jews in Germany.
The German mass murder of the Jews... brought my Jewishness to the surface.
Universal vaccination may well be the greatest success story in medical history.
I get offered a World War II movie at least once a week just because I speak German and was born there. I have always stayed away from it because I didn't want to be put into that box.
My mind-set is Munich. Most of my generation's is Vietnam.
The memories of the Munich games for me are of triumph and tragedy.
On the little money I had collected I lived in Berlin very cheaply, ate very cheaply. And already in 1920 I saved the first salaries I received to go to Munich.
The outbreak of the war found my wife and me in Switzerland, where we were taking a cure.
