During the ceremony, Bea read the names of members of her own family who were murdered in the Holocaust. She also spoke about her forthcoming Lemon Soul book, Postcard from Piešťany, based on the previously unseen memoir written by her mother, Gertrud Friedmann.
An extract from Postcard from Piešťany was read in Slovak during the event.
