Although I never told you this, through your letters and personal contacts you have stimulated in one way or another the path that Adolfo has walked. He has always had you as his first teacher, who one distant day arrived in Buenos Aires, connected with the Ark, and explained in the most simple and humble way what nonviolence was... [with] your suggesting... the way to work and organize. You have always accompanied us in the good and bad moments. For that reason too, I believe you are also part of this prize". Letter from Amanda Esquivel, in Richard Deats, 'Marked for Life: The Story of Hildegard Goss-Mayr', New City Press, Hyde Park, New York, 2009, p. 58-59.
