Commenting on the award of the Nobel Peace Prize, Christoph Heubner, Executive Vice President of the International Auschwitz Committee said:

"Auschwitz survivors throughout the world are welcoming this year’s Nobel Peace Prize awards with wholehearted support, joy and gratitude. All three winners symbolize the crucial insight that the remembrance of past crimes and the struggle against current threats and abuses of human rights must always set clear limits for a seemingly overpowering and blatantly aggressive state, and thus act as a source of encouragement to others around the world."
