Simon Wiesenthal

Simon Wiesenthal was an Austrian-Jewish Holocaust survivor known for his work in locating and bringing Nazi war criminals to justice after World War II.

After the war, he founded the Jewish Historical Documentation Center, dedicating his life to ensuring that the crimes against Jews were not forgotten and that perpetrators faced accountability. His efforts contributed to the capture of numerous Nazis, and he became a symbol of the struggle for justice and remembrance in the face of atrocity.
