He fought alone at times to track down Nazis and bring them to justice during the cold war when the allies were otherwise preoccupied. He was born in the Ukraine and was imprisoned in the Mauthausen(sp?) Death Camp. It is mind blowing to me that dispite all he went though, what Wiesenthal sort was JUSTICE not revenge. A truely rare human being. And he will be missed Click on the link to read the article

I agree. May he rest in peace. He spent the majority of his life dealing with Nazis and the memories of the Holocaust and made sure that we would not forget.

May we NOT forget.
