Simon Wiesenthal Dead at 96

Simon Wiesenthal, famous for hunting Nazi war criminals across the globe, has died. He dedicated his life to hunting down the men, and women, who ran the camps that were Hitler's "final solution to the Jewish question.



I first heard of Simon Wiesenthal by reading Frederick Forsyth's The Odessa File. He has been a hero of mine for a long time, a man who experienced incredible injustice and dedicated his life to finding justice for his fellow victims.

RIP Mr. Wiesenthal. There has been, and will continue to be, wonderful works in your name.

You did good.

Brave and honoured man.

He'll be sorely missed

Correct! Plaszow, and Mauthausen were also correct, and any one of them qualifies as a correct answer.
