Marilyn Klinghoffer dies NEW YORK (JTA) — Marilyn Klinghoffer, the widow of Leon Klinghoffer who was murdered by Palestinian terrorists during the sea-jacking of the Italian cruise ship Achille Lauro last October, died at Lenox Hill Hospital, re portedly of cancer. She was 58 years old and lived in Manhattan. Klinghoffer’s strength in the face of the incident gained her national attention. She recently sought to sell the rights of her and Leon’s story of the Achille Lauro hijack ing to a production company tor a television docu-drama. Marilyn Klinghoffer worked since 1972 for Gralla Publications in New York, beginning in the circu lation department. Shortly after the Achille Lauro affair, the president and the First Lady met with the entire Kling hoffer family in New York. She also appeared before the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on International Operations, where she declared, “I believe that my husband’s death has made a difference in the way that people now perceive their vulnerability. I believe that what happened to the passengers on the Achille Lauro and to my family can happen to anyone, at any time, at any place.” A spokesperson for the Kling hoffer family said that Marilyn Klinghoffer had been diagnosed as having cancer in the fall of 1984. She was in Lenox Hill hospital for two weeks before her death. The spokesperson said the Leon Klinghoffer Memorial Foundation, established after the Achille Lauro incident, will change its name to the Leon and Marilyn Klinghoffer Memorial Foundation, and that the family intends to continue on with the foundation’s work -This year- Continued from page 1. But Shcharansky defended him self, despite being convinced that his was “ a hopeless case from the very beginning — all the more so since I was declared guilty by Iz- vestia a full year-and-a-half before my trial took place and even before the case was opened and the investi gation began. “ My people,” Shcharansky contin ued, “have been oppressed all over the world for 2,000 years. Yet, in every place in which they found themselves, they said again and again, 'Next year in Jerusalem.’ Now, when I am further then ever from my people and my Avital, When I face long, hard years of imprisonment, 1 turn to my people and my Avital and say: 'Next year in Jerusalem. Next year in Jerusalem.'” In March 1980, Shcharansky was transferred from Chistopol to the Perm Labor Camp in the Urals. In April, his mother, Ida Milgrom, and brother, Leonid, were per mitted to visit him for 24 hourqjgr- the first time since his initial im prisonment in 1978 that he was allowed visitors. The following September, they were again brief period under heavy guard. But Shcharansky’s health began to deteriorate. He wrote a letter complaining of severe stomach and back pains. In early 1981, he was placed in solitary confinement which, in addition to poor food rations, led to a further deteri oration in his health. All of his scheduled meetings in 1981 with family members were abruptly can celled, and his letter writing allotment was reduced. In Nov. 1981, a surprise transfer once again brought Shcharansky back to Chistopol Prison. It was here, in Sept. 1982, on the eve of Yom Kippur, that Shcharansky began a hunger strike that would last 109 days. The strike was to protest prison officials’ confiscation of his mail and the refusal to allow him to receive visits from his family, despite such allowances under the Soviet penal system. At the same time, international support for Shcharansky’s release began to gain momentum. Shcharansky’s hunger strike led to an unusual move by then Soviet leader Yuri Andropov. He sent a letter, dated Jan. 18, 1983, in which he stated that Shcharansky “had contact with his mother and ceased his hunger strike” in Chistopol and that “there is no response to an inquiry from French Communist Party leader Georges Marchais. The hunger strike left Shcha ransky in critical condition, and during a visit by his mother and brother to Chistopol, he com plained of being unable to sleep because of chest pains. In Jan. 1984, he again went on a hunger strike, though only for two days, to protest the blocking of mail sent to his wife, Avital. In Oct. 1984, word was received that Shcharansky had been sent once again to the Perm Labor Camp where he was immediately hospitalized in a “pre-heart attack” condition. He was given medical treatment. Milgrom spent two days with her son there on Jan. 14 and 15, 1985. In Jan. 1986, Avital said her husband had been sen tenced to a new six-month term in a labor camp for going on still another hunger strike, again pro testing restricted mail privileges. And then it happened — word was out last week that Shcha ransky would be released and al lowed to go to Israel. This week he was free.
