This year marks the 40th anniversary of the tragic attacks on members of the Israeli Olympic team by Palestinian terrorists at the 1972 Munich Olympic Games. The iconic picture of the hooded assassin became a symbol of modern terrorism and the vulnerability of free society. Eleven Israeli athletes and a German police officer were killed during the hostage drama and the botched rescue effort. Eight Israeli athletes were able to escape. Their story though has never been heard. Now after four decades these former Olympians once again return to the site of their biggest hopes and darkest fears and tell for the first time how they have barely survived and how their lives were changed forever.
