Simon Wiesenthal has died.
There goes a real hero!
May he rest in peace and may those he brought to justice burn!

There is no freedom without justice.

There is an excellent book
"Nazi Hunter: The Simon Wiesenthal File" by Alan Levy

http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/184119607X/qid=1127297140/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i1_xgl/202-2382601-1421418

It has really long sections on the life and capture of Adolf Eichmann, and the shocking arrest of Raoul Wallenberg (he saved thousand of lives by handing out swedish passports, even on the trains about to depart to camps) by the Soviets after the war.
