David Berger National Memorial, National Memorial in Beachwood, United States
The steel sculpture features broken Olympic rings resting on eleven segments, representing each athlete killed during the 1972 Munich Olympics massacre.
The memorial was established in 1980 to commemorate David Berger, an American-Israeli weightlifter, and ten other athletes murdered at the Munich Olympic Games.
The memorial stands at the Mandel Jewish Community Center, marking the connection between American, Israeli, and Olympic sporting communities through its symbolic design.
Visitors can access the memorial at 26001 South Woodland Road in Beachwood, Ohio, where the Cuyahoga Valley National Park oversees its preservation.
The 14-foot-high, 6,000-pound Cor-Ten steel structure was created by sculptor David E Davis to represent the interrupted Olympic spirit through fractured rings.
