I just read this morning of his passing. How fitting that he would go peacefully in his sleep. Now he will be able to rest after spending his life making sure injustice did not prevail.

Prayers for the family of this great man.

"You don't eradicate hatred by bringing people to trial," said Kor. "You do a much better job of healing by reconciliation."

Idiot.

During a World War II internment in the notorious Mauthausen camp in Austria, Simon Wiesenthal had secretly kept a list of the Nazis who ran it. "There is nothing more important for you to see," Wiesenthal said, pressing the first of what would be his long lists of Nazi murderers upon the bewildered soldiers who thought him too frail to live.

Hier, though, recalled that Wiesenthal saw his mission as not one of vengeance but remembrance. He spoke out against new atrocities against other victims, in Sudan, Rwanda and the Balkans.

Wonder how he felt about abortion?

Yet he wasn't an observant Jew, Hier noted.

He may not have been an observant Jew but he was definitely a soldier of God.

what does that have to do with him. But as we are on the subject of abortion....
Did you hear about...
Pres. Bush was asked his opinion on Roe vs. Wade. He replied:
"However you get out of New Orleans is fine with me."

Amen. I am a believer and I feel that God gave him his extended life to find these murderers all over the globe to face justice. Rest in peace brother, I doubt their are many Nazis left alive in this world that commited such massive attrocities on mankind and that is a good thing.

Jewish women were forced to have abortions during the Nazi's reign of terror. I would imagine it was abhorrent to him.

The horror that Hitler inflicted, and that so many people participated in, never diminishes. Unbelievable.

The term "hero" is tossed about casually. But Wiesenthal was a true hero in every sense of the word.

I had 2 great -aunts who besides losing their families were jumped on and forced to lose their pregnant kids and then they were made sterile.
They looked at me as their kid.
