"as a former polish political prisoner of a fascist concentration camp and historian of world war ii, i want to take the honoring opportunity to speak in front of the high house. i want to thank all the young austrians, which work so hard for the remembrance of the past. here i specially think of the people of the documentation archive of the austrian resistance under the leadership of prof. wolfgang neugebauer, the austrian camp community mauthausen, the holocaust memorial service, and also the local initiatives of the communities gusen, langenstein und st. georgen in oberösterreich, the working circle for homeland, memorial and history care."
