MUNICH MEMORY PROJECT VIRTUAL MEMORY WALL


It was 4:30 in the morning on Sept. 5, 1972, when 5 Palestinian terrorists wearing track sweat suits climbed the six-foot six-inch fence surrounding the Olympic Village. After 24 intense hours and countless attempts to free the hostages, at 3 a.m., a drawn and teary-eyed Jim McKay, who had been reporting the drama throughout the day as part of ABC's Olympic coverage, announced: “They're all gone.”

On this day, eleven Israeli lives were cut short by terror. Let us ensure that their legacy and memory live on for generations.
