Comments on: Simon Wiesenthal has died http://www.yourish.com/2005/09/20/89 Cutting straight to the point Sun, 12 Feb 2012 16:03:14 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.1 By: The Doctor http://www.yourish.com/2005/09/20/89/comment-page-1#comment-248 The Doctor Wed, 21 Sep 2005 14:09:31 +0000 http://www.yourish.com/?p=89#comment-248 With all due respect to Mr. Wiesenthal, whom I honor as a great hero, there is a controversy as to whether he "tracked down Eichmann." This has been claimed by the Wiesenthal Center, but the Mossad team that tracked Eichmann has disputed this. I met the man who led the team, Peter Malkin [who died a few years ago] at the Holocaust Museum and read his book "Eichmann in my Hands" and Wiesenthal is not mentioned. I don't know the truth of it, but I don't want the memory of a great man like Wiesenthal to be in the slightest tarnished by an attribution that might be open to dispute.

I wish I had a dollar for every time I have seen the name"Adolph" (which is Swedish) used instead of the correct name "Adolf" (which is Germanic) for Hitler and Eichmann. Anyway may Simon Wiesenthal rets in peace. He had many enemies and surivived them all. A minor correction.
