Abstract
This article discusses the experience and emotions of the two female members of the Israeli delegation to the 1972 Munich Olympics from a 50-year perspective. Interviews with them reveal a complex web of emotions including frustration directed at Germany, the International Olympic Committee, and even the Israeli delegation, which handled the event in a spontaneous and rather unprofessional manner.
