100 photographs that define Shaker Heights
Shaker Heights Patch is celebrating the 100 years of Shaker Heights history by creating an online scrapbook. Each day for 100 days, we'll feature a photograph that helps tell the story of Shaker Heights.
Today's picture is the senior class portrait of David Berger, a member of Israel's weightlifting team at the 1972 Olympics in Munich. He was one of 11 athletes and coaches who were taken hostage and killed by members of Black September, a Palestinian terrorist organization.
