Frank thoughts...

Was intending to post about Anne Frank (who I consider a fellow 'blogger' because of her famous diary) and just saw that Simon Wiesenthal is dead. The man who spent more than half his lifetime hunting down Nazi war criminals lost 89 relatives in the Holocaust. Was just thinking about what that represents and how someone who suffered that kind of loss lobbied for justice and not revenge.

Here's a link between him and Anne Frank from an MSN-AP story:
Among others Wiesenthal tracked down was Austrian policeman Karl Silberbauer, who he believed arrested the Dutch teenager Anne Frank and sent her to the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp where she died.
Wiesenthal decided to pursue Silberbauer in 1958 after a youth told him he did not believe in Frank’s existence and murder, but would if Wiesenthal could find the man who arrested her. His five-year search resulted in Silberbauer’s 1963 capture.

Also remember reading a Reader's Digest's selection that featured the hunt for Eichmann, who was one of the main architects of the 'Final Solution'. This was written by one of the Mossad team who participated in the operation, and it's gripping - especially him talking about what it felt like to be in such close proximity to Eichmann while they waited to spirit him out of Argentina. Must get my hands on it someday.
