Simon Wiesenthal Dead at 96
Dedicated His Life to Fighting Prejudice
I only wish my life could impact so many people in such a significant way.
"Justice for crimes against humanity must have no limitations."
"Survival is a privilege which entails obligations. I am forever asking myself what I can do for those who have not survived."
Those are a few of the principles by which he led his life. A Holocaust survivor, Wiesenthal tracked Nazi war criminals after the end of World War II, bringing over 1,100 of them to justice. Then he spent years fighting against anti-semitism and other forms of prejudice. Wiesenthal was someone who I looked up to and admired tremendously. R.I.P.
