i ask your forgiveness here in munich and to day 0. i add this longer than that as the head of the state of this country. and in the name of the federal republic of germany, i ask your forgiveness, marland. and so they say for the inadequate protection, the armored afforded to the israeli athletes at the olympic games and munich, you mcgonagall and now for the woefully inadequate investigation. afterwards, some perfume for the facts that it was possible mine for what happened to happen. one for i have a duty and a need to recognise germany's responsibility on from here and now and into the future. the good part of may the outcome of to day be that you the families feel properly seen and heard in your pain, ruined with us on m. and that you feel that we take our responsibility seriously, madame, on time the bigger through the friendship, her ladies and gentlemen, dear guests, we find her miss presidents, the friendship. this is soon the reconciliation. who said israel has given us his name to be in the garden is nothing less than a mira

that's habit and munich came forth. many would later describe the catastrophe as inconceivable for those had been there at the time. perhaps that was probably the overwhelming feeling of up hadn't been. however, god of your door should we been germans of old people, you, should we not have known that the idea of inconceivable, etc. is a fallacy worth? well, the can have terrible consequences and foster barcode, inconceivable, etc. or is a concept that is designed to ward off questions on distract from the real question was ne monson. how could such a thing happen? he began that had never been allowed to happen on a schedules elsewhere as we commemorates a day. and we must sincerely and truly remember the events of the past fall in such remembering as painful that is most especially. so for you, the families, phones, and doors between germany too, we must feel that pain, the events, if not to $72.00, left steep dogs gaz within the lives of those all the lost loved ones. the trauma munich has embedded itself again. then o

so let's take a closer look at how those tragic events unfolded in munich, 50 years ago. munich, 1972. mm. by hosting the summer olympics, germany wanted to show the world that it was a cheerful, colorful, cosmopolitan country. and that it had overcome the shadows of it's not the past, but then a shock, palestinian militants took control of the israeli athletes residence in the olympic village. they shot to his railways dead and took 9 hostage, hoping to free prisoners in israel and germany. they demanded a flight to cairo with their hostages on board as well. the german authorities appeared to go along with it. helicopters took off from the olympic village and flew towards an air force base outside the city. hans fergus was a german soldier, stationed in the air bases towered that night to come and canal from from the hill . the helicopters came up from behind. if it is over that building to boise, the rwandan that he turned around here and landed here. and here than here and here you landed, felker was just working the night shift in the tower. the long no one had told him what was

so here, munich, there, several commemorations happening. one of them at the memorial that i just mentioned, that as behind the stadium does something else at the olympic village were. they installed a splunk with the numbers of the sportsmen that were killed there at the olympic village. and also this abbeys that is located 30 kilometers away from munich, as i say, there will be in the afternoon and many of high level i've ranking delegation. so here both from germany, from israel, we have a german president from fights or stein may attending with interior minister nancy phase as well. israel is sports minister is he is so high level delegation. of course, what's very important is a, the family members that will also be here. immunity will also be attending this a commemorative event in munich, something that was not clear only a few days. so that's one of the things, not only the pressure of the family members, but that it was just reach that they reach disagreement only a few days before these events. so we'll be looking forward to that.

families were victims of the holocaust made their way to munich . for the israeli team, it was a, it was a hugely symbolic gesture just to go. and i think it was maybe one of the 1st times that her, that a sizable israeli sporting contingent had gone to germany to complete and so on. i think that i think that i think, you know, the germans were very aware of that. i've symbolically important this was and he is, had a alicia father to see in his railey flag over the olympic stadium in munich after such a relatively short time really was the sensation for him and his and everything was working. and the thought the little tiny of it was thought restrictive security plan might damp and this euphoria and nothing was supposed to recall german militarism and the police stain. no one wanted to hear the experts, warnings, although there was evidence of possible attacks. and so on september 5th, palestinian terrorists were able to enter the olympic village unhindered. the terror group at the black september held 11 members if the israeli team hostage in their

the world was invited to munich and ready to accept germany again including israel. even athletes whose families were victims of the holocaust made their way to munich. for the israeli team, it was a, it was a hugely symbolic gesture just to go. and i think it was maybe one of the 1st times that a at a sizable israeli sporting contingent had gone to germany to complete and so on. i think that and i think that i think, you know, the germans were very aware of that, of the high, symbolically important. this was and he said, i elisha, falling to see in israeli flag over the olympic stadium in munich after such a relatively short time, really was a sensation fernandez and everything was working. and if at the little 20th it was thought restrictive security plan might dampen this euphoria and nothing was supposed to recall german militarism and the police stain. no one wanted to hear the experts, warnings, although there was evidence of possible attacks. and so on september 5th, palestinian terrorists were able to enter the olympic village unhindered. the tara group at bl

who has written extensively about the 1972 munich olympics. we asked him what took so long and why germany took so long to apologize. i think several, several things took so long for one that generates on addition to wasn't charged in the seventy's has now died. i think the last sort of living with in terms of german politics, the mayor of unit was instrumental in bringing the game to munich right. a couple of years ago. but made it easy. i think it makes it easier for this generational change to apologize for something like that. the other big reason i think is, and you could say this is pub cynical. germany wanted to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the games and without a german apology, without the sort of agreement that a german israeli historians commissions would be set up without compensation payments, a significant compensation payments. i think the relatives of the victims with hunky spits and the lee, but it never agreed to come. and i think your point in basically, germany was put in a corner and then in a way, rightly so, because

this was an enormous leap into modernity for munich. and we can still see the olympic cam park in munich, which is still being used in contrast to the olympic parks and many other cities. but this cheerfulness that joy, that we felt at those olympics, jane and games stopped rapidly, abruptly withers at his attack. what to say whether it was the right decision to continue the game said the day after something that we cannot say, but the fact at that time was that it still is. it still remains a fat effect that this attack change everything, the cheerful, ah games stopped abruptly and the dream became a nightmare. and this place here where we are today was the aunt of abs out the place of harrow. and when we look at them and pictures of that time, and they are really horrendous and horrific, but we read newspaper reports of that and we still feel how absurd this was. this was there were journalists allowing m m a standing next to police officers who were not well trained to try to try to do something. and this a helicopter that was burned

i mentioned that it has all peoples munich. i enjoyed the european championship this from august, and i would understand and that church munich is celebrating the l. m. 50th anniversary of the game. so for 1972 in the olympic park, but i would so i have the impression that it is not and not, not everybody's aware of the fact that this attack in 1972 and had such a long impact on the east rail, on the jewish community and munich, the shock that only a few decades after the show on only after the difficult decision to stay in this country. the shock that only such a few years after that again deuce people were murdered in this country. this truck was enormous and this continues to be like that until today, until therefore, it is so important for us to feel the sympathy that is present to change. they are understanding the responsibility, the shared responsibility, that is the right answer to the years of ignorance or i'm forgetting, ladies and gentlemen, i would like to see i my wishes that m b maintain this responsibility for th

so conf, munich, 1972. by hosting the summer olympics, germany wanted to show the world that it was a cheerful, colorful, cosmopolitan country. and that it had overcome the shadows of its nazi past. but then a shock, palestinian militants took control of the israeli athletes residence in the olympic village. they shot to his railways and took 9 hostage, hoping to free prisoners in israel and germany. the west german authorities bungled the rescue attempt, and in the end all the hostages were killed alongside 5 of the palestinian gunmen and a local policeman. he and on mine, the stein meyers apology was a significant moment for the victims families who had threatened to boycott the ceremony after battling for decades for fair compensation from the german government. but shortly before the anniversary, the 2 parties agreed on a 28000000 euro compensation package and the families were in attendance. one survivor on cash spitzer, read a letter to her husband andre, a fencing master and coach who died in the mas

regardless of the medal standings , the appearance of the israeli team in munich was perceived by the delegation as a victory in today's israel, a dozen sports stadiums sites of training bases today, israeli olympians consistently bring medals in the field of gymnastics, swimming, judo surfing, and in the seventy- second year on the eve of the munich olympics , non-victory was the main principle, but participation and israeli athletes trained where swimmers had to swim in the sea, and wrestlers trained on the beach or in parks in the olympic village, men and women were settled in different buildings located opposite each other, on september 4, the world of prove was shlamit. in training, her performance on the water tracks scheduled for the seventh of september 5 at 7:00 am. i looked out the window, saw soldiers and policemen unloading snipers from cars, heard the word terrorist attack. i called our men from the team, but no one answered. the olympic village was not really guarded. although the entrance was closed at 10:00 pm, returning home, the olympians who were on a spree simply c

how did the munich olympics shape modern germany? i think maybe to explain that the title of the book is not so much about how they shake germany rather than how they reflected the modern germany as it sort of appeared in 1970. to wrap this long phase of modernization in the 960 in german society and 972 is kind of a metaphor for all the things that kind of change to jim society. including, if you wish, the kind of rejection of military power and, and disregard for policing, which actually made the attack possible. and just one of the big changes. but it, lots of other ways german society changed the relationship east, germany sides. and in that way, the title actually reflect is more, it's more, it's more about the making up, the more than germany as a matter of, you know, the games as a matter of making. ready i mean it's and thank you so much chrysler. he's a professor of modern european history at durham university. thank you very much for having me. after a bitter contest lift trust has been elected leader of britain's conservat
