MUNICH, Germany — Lessons in tolerance are needed to quell the rightist violence gripping Germany, an official said Friday during a ceremony marking the 20th anniversary of the 1972 massacre at the Munich Olympics.
The 11 Israelis killed by Arab terrorists were remembered by their relatives, representatives of the Israeli Embassy and German officials.
During the commemoration, Munich’s Deputy Mayor Christian Ude said vigilance is still necessary to “resist anti-Semitism and hate of foreigners.”
The ceremony was held in the building that housed the Israeli athletes during the Munich Olympics.
