I accept this award on behalf of myself, my wife, children and grandchildren and, most importantly, in honor of my mother, father, brothers and sisters and the 6 million Jews brutally murdered by the German Nazis during the Holocaust. It is important that those who come after us be our witnesses and have the confidence that the tragedy of the Holocaust will never be forgotten.
