About David Berger National Memorial
The memorial is a large weathering-steel sculpture that remembers David Berger, a weightlifter who was one of eleven Israeli athletes killed at the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich. The piece shows broken Olympic rings resting on eleven segments, one for each victim, with one segment set apart to reflect Berger's own path to the Israeli team. Eight families who were friends of his parents paid for it, and Congress authorized it as a national memorial in 1980. After the Jewish Community Center in Cleveland Heights closed in 2005, the sculpture was cleaned and restored, then moved to the grounds of the Mandel Jewish Community Center of Cleveland in 2006. The Mandel center manages the site.
