The decoration of Daniel Mariaschin, together with other members of the International Commission for the Study of the Holocaust in Romania, represents a symbolic gesture of appreciation of the personal efforts of Daniel Mariaschin and of the other members of the Commission too, and also of the special merits proved by the Commission in its scientific research, reads a MAE release.
