Speaking during a stay in Oswiecim, Christoph Heubner, Executive Vice President of the International Auschwitz Committee commented on developments in the anti-Semitic scandal surrounding Hubert Aiwanger:

"Up to now Hubert Aiwanger still hasn’t managed to provide any kind of genuine apology to the survivors of the Holocaust and the survivors of Auschwitz who have been taunted and degraded by this unspeakable leaflet. Each new day sees a worsening of the disastrous image that he and his party colleagues are creating in their efforts to deal with the scandal, which is constantly adding further damage to Bavaria and Germany. If Hubert Aiwanger now tries to slip into the role of the victim and deliberately misuses the leaflet scandal to declare it a ‘smear campaign’, simply to influence the Free Voters in the upcoming state elections, such manipulation can only come across as cynical and outrageous."
