„On December 7th 1970, when the then Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany, Willy Brandt, kneeled down at the tumb of the unnamed soldier during the  laying of wreath in the Warshaw Ghetto, after the ratification of the Warshaw Treaty with Poland, under the leadership of the then acting foreign minister Wladislaw Gomolka, I was - and with me people in the whole world - deeply moved by this simple gesture from this charismatic man.

On the brink of German history, and under the burden of the million murdered he did what humans shall do when the loose their words.
