Simon Wiesenthal
Simon Wiesenthal, honorary KBE, (31 December, 1908 – 20 September, 2005), was an Austrian-Jewish architectural engineer who became a Nazi hunter after surviving the Holocaust.
Miscellaneous
- The character of Ezra Lieberman in Ira Levin's novel The Boys from Brazil is modeled on Wiesenthal, and Wiesenthal makes an appearance as a minor character in Frederick Forsyth's The Odessa File, providing information to a German journalist attempting to track down a Nazi war criminal.
- Wiesenthal may not have visited Canada due to the country's poor record in tracking and prosecuting Canadians who have committed war crimes, particularly Croatians and Ukrainians. However he did visit Canada at least once between 1975 and 1978. A Wikipedia reader heard him give a talk in Winnipeg, Manitoba and was afterwards asked by Wiesenthal for information about a certain local individual, probably Ukrainian, living in the South part of the city.
