exciting.
Yuval Sussman and Tamir Blatt went to tonight's game (Wednesday) in the uniform of Alba Berlin - German champions - with black ribbons on their jerseys in honor of Holocaust Martyrs 'and Heroes' Remembrance Day.
Sussman increased the do when he came up with his grandmother's last name, Gastren, instead of his name on the back of the shirt.
Yuval's grandmother (Lila) is an 88-year-old Holocaust survivor, born in Warsaw, Poland, 1934.
She survived the Holocaust with her older sister (the late Shoshana), and immigrated to Israel with the "Children of Tehran." (With Menachem Begin), and did not return alive. Yuval used to visit his grandmother, every eve of Holocaust Remembrance Day, so this evening has great significance for him.
Tomer Ginat, a player of Metropolitans 92, will play later today in the EuroCup quarterfinals against Valencia.
The Israeli forward wanted to wear a black ribbon on the jersey, but unlike the German league, the factory management refused the request.
Were we wrong?
Fixed!
