Placing a stone on the Memorial Plaque as a sign of respect to the Massacred Israeli Athletes


The Memorial Plaque reads  in both German and Hebrew

"In this building lived the team of the state of Israel during the 20th Olympic Summer Games from August 21 through September 5, 1972.  On September 5, 1972, David Berger, Seew Friedman, Josef Gutfreund, Elieser Halfin, Josef Romano, Amizur Shapira, Kehat Shorr, Mark Slavin, Andre Spitzer, Jaakow Springer, and Mosche Weinberger died a violent death. Honor to their memory."
