I just heard on the news that arch Nazi hunter Wiesenthal died today. He brought around 1,000 Nazi war criminals to justice over a 60 year career, and will be sadly missed. Let's hope his work can be carried on by someone else until no longer necessary.
Soon all of those who would have been Simon's prey will be dead as well. Then they shall meet a judgement that shall pale anything they could have faced here in this life. I too morn his passing. I wish that I could celebrate that the Nazi's were the last group that needed someone to run them to ground for their crimes. I fear there will always be someone out there abusing power and mistreating their fellow human beings.
Agreed! All of those evil persons will soon face a much higher judge as to their wartime, actions and a pardon, or "time off for good behaviour" will not even be discussed.
