The Nobel committee called him a "messenger to mankind". A survivor of Nazi concentration camps at both Buchenwald and Auschwitz, he extended his pursuit of human rights beyond Jewish cause to all peoples subjected to governmental or racial oppression. "Despair is no solution. I know that. What is the solution? Hitler had one. And he tried it while a civilized world kept silent. I remember. And I am afraid." (p 73).
