Simon Wiesenthal Passes
The man who brought over 1100 Nazi's to justice has passed away.
Sorry to see him go but he was an icon in the field of people who worked for justice after WW2. Joe A http://news.yahoo.com/fc/world/holocaust

From the Washington Post:
"You're a religious man," Wiesenthal told his friend. "You believe in God and life after death. I also believe. When we come to the other world and meet the millions of Jews who died in the camps and they ask us, 'What have you done?'.... I will say, 'I didn't forget you.' " |

Interesting taped interview with him on NPR a few days ago. I had to laugh at one of his quips: "Yassir Arafat was a man who never missed an opportunity to miss an opportunity."
