Simon Wiesenthal citáty

Simon Wiesenthal, KBE bol známy ako rakúsky lovec nacistov.

Pre svoj židovský pôvod bol prenasledovaný nacistami. Prežil väzenie v niekoľkých nemeckých koncentračných táboroch. Po vojne zasvätil zvyšok svojho života vypátraniu a potrestaniu nacistických zločincov a páchateľov holokaustu. Spoluzaložil Židovské dokumentačné stredisko najprv v Linci a potom vo Viedni. Na základe rešerší sa snažil doviesť pred spravodlivosť konkrétnych páchateľov, ktorí sa podieľali na tzv. konečnom riešení židovskej otázky. Stal sa tak symbolicky advokátom šiestich miliónov židovských obetí nacizmu. Sám sa nepovažoval za tzv. lovca nacistov ale svoje poslanie videl v pripomínaní obetí a zločinov holokaustu napríklad ako spisovateľ. Počas holokaustu stratil 89 príbuzných. Wikipedia

Simon Wiesenthal

Although this maxim is associated with Wiesenthal (e.g. "Honoring Simon Wiesenthal", Congressional Record—House, Vol. 151, Pt. 15, 21 September 2005, p. 20804), he did not originate the quote, which appears in the context of the labor movement in the 19th century (e.g. Alexander Spencer, "Maintain Your Union", The Typographical Journal, Vol. 10, No. 7, 1 April 1897, p. 266).
Misattributed

“You're a religious man. You believe in God and life after death. I also believe. When we come to the other world and meet the millions of Jews who died in the camps and they ask us, 'What have you done?' there will be many answers. You will say, 'I became a jeweler.' Another will say, 'I smuggled coffee and American cigarettes.' Still another will say, 'I built houses,' but I will say, 'I didn't forget you.”

New York Times Obituary, 9/20/2005

“Survivors should be like seismographs… They should sense danger before others do, identify its outlines and reveal them. They are not entitled to be wrong a second time or regard as harmless something that might lead to catastrophe.”
