He did a good job hunting those sadistic criminals down.

I hope the Centre continues to catch them however old they might be now.

A personal interest of mine being a scholar of fundamentalism and intolerance.

http://www.museumoftolerance.com/sit...PILqF&b=249627

and

http://www.ihr.org/leaflets/wiesenthal.shtml

An alternate point of view on his life and ideals from what I would regard as an extreme right wing source. Some people also believe the world is flat.

My own point of view is that he was an honourable man who unfortunately is being used as a propaganda tool by both sides. Probably more so now he's dead.

IHR would appear to be a seriously revisionist history site - they even promote books by David "I'm not a **** really" Irving.

Sad day, a true hero this guy!
Justice not revenge was his key words. Brought 1000 war criminals to face justice.
