In his memoirs, "Long Road to Freedom," he wrote that he survived during those years of captivity because he always decided to look upon his oppressor as also being a human being, also being a human being.
U njegovim memoarima, "Dugi put do slobode", napisao je da je preživio te godine zatočeništva zato što je na svoga ugnjetača gledao kao na ljudsko biće, još jedno ljudsko biće.
