In 2006 they received the Roswitha Haftmann Prize, Switzerland, and in 2010, they were awarded the Wolfgang Hahn Prize by the Museum Ludwig, Cologne.

Social feminists [in Europe] ... believe that men and society at large should provide systematic support to women in recognition of their dual role as mothers and workers.”

“Tragedy, as you know, is always a fait accompli, whereas terror always has to do with anticipation, with man’s recognition of his own negative potential—with his sense of what he is capable of.”
