Entry Ticket to the Munich Olympics where 11 members of the Israeli delegation were massacred. September 4, 1972.

On this day just before midnight, eight terrorists from the "Black September" organization gathered at a restaurant at the Munich train station. They went to the storage lockers and took out gym bags containing weapons and ammunition, including Kalashnikov assault rifles, TT-33 pistols and hand grenades. The terrorists wore tracksuits to resemble athletes, and traveled in two taxis to the Olympic Village. At 4:10 AM on September 5, 1972, they got out of the taxis near Gate A25, where they began carrying out the terrible massacre which lasted all that day.

The Munich massacre was a Palestinian terrorist attack that took place on September 5-6, 1972 during the Twentieth Summer Olympics in Munich, West Germany. During the event, eleven members of the Israeli delegation – athletes, coaches and judges – were murdered by Palestinian terrorists from the "Black September" organization.

15x11 cm. Very good condition.
