Very small site. It was kind of hard to find but after going into the center they direct you and give you all the information on the site. The information sheet is great.

Symbolic memorial to David Berger, a Cleveland native who was one of the athletes killed in the 1972 Munich Olympics terrorist attack. Whether or not youre going to get the NPS stamp, its a piece of Cleveland history and worth checking out if youre in the area.

If youre looking to visit all the National Park sites, this memorial is probably on your list. A word of caution for those who come to visit, the memorial is small and there is only one sign to commemorate it. If youre looking for a passport stamp, its inside the Community Center at the front desk and the staff will gladly help you and even give you a handout about the memorial. I would advise checking the Community Centers website to determine if theyll be open because they do celebrate all the Jewish holidays. Overall, if youre coming here just for this memorial, make sure to stop by some of the other National Park sites to make it worth your trip.

I waited until 9 a.m. to visit because thats when I thought the Jewish Center opened up according to their website, to get the National Park Passport stamp, but they were actually open at 6 a.m. for gym classes Etc. So you may want to call the night before if you are looking for a passport stamp. The memorial is just a small statue to the left of the center when you drive in to the parking lot, but inside they have a nice color glossy hand out about his life

Theres a Passport To Your National Parks stamp here (hence the reason for my visit). Its on the grounds of the Jewish community center. The staff are friendly enough but they mostly just handed me a piece of paper with Bergers story and pointed me to the sculpture outside. I probably should appreciate the significance of the event more than I do, but I also think the National Park Service could do a better job highlighting the significance of what happened, perhaps with some displays about the Munich Massacre and maybe have the JCC show a documentary film about Berger and the incident to help younger people like me understand what happened and the significance of it to the community.

I have no idea why this is a National Park Service site. It is literally just a statue.Inside the Jewish Community Center, you can get the passport stamp and the staff will hand you a one-page brochure. It takes 7 minutes to do everything if youre slow.

The Munich massacre occurred at the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, West Germany.  Eleven Israeli Olympic team members were taken hostage and killed. David Mark Berger of Cleveland was an American/Israeli Olympic weightlifter, and one of the eleven killed.  Beyond the monument being a memorial, it also symbolizes hope that violence can be overcome.  The monument consists of several arches (symbolic of the Olympic rings, but broken).  The arches reach skyward symbolizing hope.

To find the NPS cancellation stamp go up to the desk inside the community center!

Awesome art work
