The Olympic Games has always served as a symbol of unity, but on this day in 1972, the very essence of the Olympic Games was shattered by Palestinian terrorists who broke into the dorms of the Israeli Olympic team, took them hostage and brutally murdered them.
#Munich72
To see how these athletes, some Holocaust survivors, proudly represented their country, MY country, in the Olympic Games only to be slaughtered by Palestinian terrorists. Only for the Games to immediately carry on despite the fact that Israelis were being held hostage.
