Press release: "50 years of the 1972 Olympic assassination" - commemoration of the victims
"Twelve Months - Twelve Names: 50 Years of the 1972 Munich Olympics Attack" - this is the title of the 2022 commemorative year. To commemorate the twelve victims in a very special way 50 years after the terrible events, the focus will be on one victim each month.
Coordinated by the Jewish Museum Munich and the Nazi Documentation Center Munich, various institutions from the Fürstenfeldbruck district also participate in the special remembrance work.
In February, the slain police officer Anton Fliegerbauer is commemorated. A photo of Anton Fliegerbauer will be projected onto the building of the police headquarters in Ettstraße in Munich. Also in February, there will be a lecture at the police academy in Fürstenfeldbruck. The program includes an address by the bereaved families and a lecture on the police lessons learned from the Olympic assassination.
In March, the Jexhof Farm Museum is dedicating an outdoor exhibition to weightlifter Ze'ev Friedman.
Eliezer Halfin takes center stage in May. As a supplement to the exhibition "September 5, 1972 - The End of the Cheerful Munich Games", information about the life of the freestyle wrestler will be provided at the Fürstenfeldbruck District Office.
