Germany and Israel’s presidents on Monday marked 50 years since the 1972 Munich Olympics massacre, which included a public acknowledgement of Germany’s role in the tragedy which saw 11 Israeli athletes killed by Palestinian terrorists.
“I am sorry for that and I apologize for the fact that after the attack, what would have been demanded by humanity was simply not done — admitting the mistakes and taking responsibility for them.”
The widow of killed fencing coach Andre Spitzer and representative of the relatives of the victims Ankie Spitzer speaks during a ceremony to mark the 50th anniversary of an attack on the 1972 Munich Olympics, at the Fuerstenfeldbruck Air Base, southern Germany, on September 5, 2022. The rest of the 11 hostages and a police officer were killed during a botched rescue attempt by West German police.
