Mr. Wiesenthal was the conscience of a generation at a time the world sorely needed one. Requiescat in Pace, righteous one.
A relentless man. Over the years and many times I heard people remark that the crimes committed by the people Simon Wiesenthal (and others) hunted so relentlessly were “so long ago” and “so old now”. “What good can it do to keep hounding them and harping on what happened 40, 50, 60 years ago.”
If nothing else, turnabout was fair play. They were relentless in their sick efforts to murder. And Mr. Wiesenthal was relentless in his desire to bring them to justice. He found his peace by denying peace to monsters. A relentless man. Requiescat in Pace indeed.
Knucklehead-
I think God knew he was doing the right thing with his life-and gifted him with a long time on earth-
Rest in Peace-Simon Wiesenthal.
A man that earned it.
Restin Peace;you’ve earned it.
