Zwölf Monate - Zwölf Namen. Twelve Months-Twelve Names

On the morning of September 5, 1972, eight Palestinian terrorists attacked the accommodation of Israeli athletes in the Olympic Village in Munich. Mosche (Muni) Weinberg was shot immediately, and Yossef Romano succumbed to his gunshot wounds later that day. Nine Israelis were taken hostage. During the night of September 6, David Berger, Ze’ev Friedman, Yossef Gutfreund, Eliezer Halfin, Amitzur Shapira, Kehat Schor, Mark Slavin, Andrei Spitzer, Yakov Springer, and German police officer Anton Fliegerbauer died in the disastrous attempt to free the hostages by the Bavarian police in Fürstenfeldbruck. It was not until 50 years later that the German government was able to agree to appropriate compensation payments and acknowledge its guilt. Twelve Months - Twelve Names portrays the victims and their biographies and documents twelve months of diverse public remembrance. In memory of David Berger, Anton Fliegerbauer, Ze’ev Friedman, Yossef Gutfreund, Eliezer Halfin, Yossef Romano, Amitzur Shapira, Kehat Schor, Mark Slavin, Andrei Spitzer, Yakov Springer, and Moshe (Muni) Weinberg. With texts by Angela Libal and photographs by Daniel Schvarcz. This catalog is published for the namesake memorial project, which was conceived and coordinated by the Jewish Museum Munich in collaboration with the NS Documentation Center Munich and the Consulate General of the State of Israel.
