"You can see on the right in the picture the local neo-Nazi leader shouting a warning. I still pinch my arm when I think about it. I get shivers all over my body when I think that it was me who took the picture." (The photographer Hans Runesson in an interview with Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter.)
"In five minutes the square was filled with a thousand people. I was at the front - that's why the picture was so good. The woman whacked him with all she had." (The photographer Hans Runesson in an interview with Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter.)
The picture was widely circulated and was chosen as Picture of the Year 1985 in Sweden. It was also voted "Best Picture of the Century" by the Swedish magazine Vi and the Swedish Photohistorical Association in the late 1990s.
"Fremdenfeindlicher Aufmarsch in Växjö aus dem Jahre 1985: eine Überlebende des Holocaust nimmt sich beherzt die Herrschaften vor. Minuten später beteiligt sich die halbe Stadt und die Männer müssen von der Polizei aus dem Bahnhofsklo befreit werden."
