a wound. the wound still refuses to be here. all of us remembered the dark hours of september 1917 children carry this kind their hearts, the scars of those moments when we with anxiety and great worry and in shield horror. they watched and listened to the inconsistent rewards that every few hours came from the olympic village in munich. we couldn't grasp that athletes refuse referees and coaches juice, and his riley boys on german soil were held hostage by terror beyond we had hoped so much for different outcomes, but our hartford wish was not fulfilled. our hearts were broken, our hopes were dashed. 24 hours later we received the worst possible piece of news . none i had survived. i was a boy at that time, and yet i will never forget the terrible morning when together with my

father. for i went to my school and in the calm we listened to the horrible horrific news. i will never forget the tears that show me . so in our eyes, this feeling of complete shock and this deeply felt pain. the grief that engulfed her, our whole country. when the so called cheerful olympic games as they were described by the walker noises suddenly and abruptly turned into the saddest and darkest moment in his file into mister that he was angela limping games and all the 11 athletes of blessed memory and victims of a munich m y had arrived on german soil for the olympic games 50 years ago in the spirit of sportsmanship. they had come in the spirit of the olympic movement in the spirit of a offer, community, fellowship, and friendship. in

a spirit of unity belonging together and solidarity solidarity between countries and nations, they were more than 2 murdered, cruelly and cold launched by palestinians palestinian ever organization. only because they were jews only because they worked on israel. is this brutal and massacre at brian lee? your money and it, the life of 11 is really sports man and of a german police officer. and this was a disastrous surge human tragedy. and that church shattered to morality and values that was disregarded human dignity. at the moment when the spirit of humanity was lost, this was the moment when the torch of the olympic games was existing, wished for us as a nation to country. this massacre was a national catastrophe. it this desecrated an inviolable olympic union and solidarity the symbol of sports and it only stained it,

flag with blood. the flag with the 5 olympic rings will never be the same as before . for decades, germany as a federal stem president stein my already said for decades and germany and the international impact committee have failed to remember the 11 athletes, the pain, and the grief of the families of the victims over the so their loved ones, they are torment and their tears on the swan were exacerbated by the pain. okay, very hard. the cause to by the indifference, are caused by the feeling of being left alone in all those years. the simple truth seems to have been forgotten, namely, or in the truth that this was not a jewish choice ready tragedy, but that this was a global fit g. tragedy which needed to be remembered and commemorated during every olympic games. a tragedy. the lessons of which need to be taught and learned by

every generation. a tragedy that remind, reminds us again at, again, that there is no stronger contrast to sports than terrorism. that there is no great, great contrast to terror. then allow me, sportsmanship. the word must not forget what happened during the olympic gains and munich, the word m. as to what happened in 1972. the world must not forget that the fight against terror everywhere. and at all times, if it must be fought together resolutely and with determination, the future of human society depends on the in, by eligibility of the good. and the fact that we have to safeguard the invite ability of the good. while at the same time we have to condemn and fight the evil and namely anti semitism hate and terror in this segment. but not only in this sense, in this sense that germany is decision of the last few days for which i once again

want to thank my good friend for president dine, maya, remember before his enormous effort. and i also want to thank you, the federal government and the government of the state of bavaria, android. so the city of munich for having taken the lead in that and it in this sense, the decision to assume responsibility for the failure surrounding the massacre. and afterwards of the failure to launch an object different to study and the failure to compensate for the family m, mano m and was, and the decision to now launching objective answer was dandy and the decision now to compensate the family members. this decision now stands for the invalidity of the goods for the victory over even in m. hebrew. there is a special word for people who were killed by an accident or were murdered in such a person's court. hallo! the same word. hallo also means in hebrew, an empty space or a void,

something that is missing. calling on mute olive holland, i mean, can i, our london along the something let me show dismissing. so each of the 11 hollow limb of munich was a word in his own right for his family fascination. each of them has left behind an empty spade avoid a hallow them, an empty space that can never bigger look again, be filled. no words can comfort you or make, wanted family. mamma's sir, who have lost loved ones, your coverage, the door time sexual and all. yeah. determination to continue to live on. i mean, we are and the next generation hold for come here or have committed to preserve the memory who have no pledge to continue to live on you or serve as an example frost. i'm sure this is how we can preserve the memory of the victims. so let us all,
