(09/05/2022) At the memorial ceremony in Fürstenfeldbruck, Bavaria, for the victims of the Munich Olympics massacre, Interior Minister Nancy Faeser spoke of deep wounds and agonising questions.
"It’s shameful that it took so long before there was any understanding or reappraisal of the events, transparency about them, or acceptance of responsibility for them,"Minister Faeser said to the victims’ families, who had travelled to Munich for the 50th anniversary of the attack.
The Federal Government supports the victims’ families, who continue to this day to suffer as a result of what happened. "Finally, the events are being thoroughly examined by a German-Israeli commission of historians. This lays the foundation for a new and vital culture of remembrance,"
Faeser said. "It is true not only for this attack, but also for others, that we must treat people whose lives have been dramatically altered by attacks with greater empathy and support."
