Having just read this on CNN, I thought that I would share with the members of our forums, Simon Wiesenthal has passed away. May he rest in peace, a hero to us all.

Thanks, Alan. Actually, I didn't realize that he was still alive. He was a great hero, recognized by many but probably not by most.

I heard about that on the news today, it is sad but he did live a long life and did a hell of a lot more good than most people ever do in a lifetime. This mans life reminds me of a book I read a while back that got made into a movie in the 70's called the "Boys from Brazil" I wonder if the title character was based on him. Wonderfull book and movie by the way I highly recomend it.
