Tribute to Oskar Henkow January 10, 2018
"Yesterday evening I submitted the assessment of Oskar Henkow's application for becoming a full professor. For once, I wrote a perfectly clean assessment stating that he fulfilled all, every single one, of the criteria for becoming a full professor. I spent the whole evening going through every single publication of Oskar Henkow, every single assignment that he has had, and all his pedagogical experiences. It was impressive. After I submitted the assessment I went to bed and read the news before going to sleep - the sad news about a family found dead in Bjärred. It was sad enough as it was.
Today when I got the news that this was Oskar Henkow’s family I got a total chock. And I got so sad. Last time I met Oskar and we talked about his situation at home, I saw such a deep sorrow in his eyes. He was the only tax academic in the Nordic countries who really challenged me with his knowledge about VAT. Who could have an analysis of a CJEU case that was so different from mine so that I could think – are we talking about the same case? Who could bring up a VAT case that I had never heard about. The greatest of the VAT researchers has left us, far to early.
Prof. Dr. Oskar Henkow, the ones that God loves die young. I will miss you!"
