Crown Prince Haakon of Norway meeting one of the few, alive today, Norwegians who were in Auschwitz.

Alf Knudsen is the only one of the former Norwegian prisoners present at the memorial. The 81 year old has been back to the camp 60 times as a time-witness since he was released. He was also present at the 50 years memorial ten years ago. Then he met King Harald.
