    Post Simon Wiesenthal dies at age of 96

    At the age of 96 Simon Wiesenthal has passed away in Vienna. A great man, he showed that war criminals couldn't run away from their deeds. May his achievements inspire the search for war criminals now and in the future.

    And a nice man, gentle, witty. I interviewed him twice, the first time as a greenhorn in the 1980's, and he answered my stupid questions in great detail. Every inch a gentleman.

    A man who believed in the power of the law, and if it wouldn't move then he used the power of the press to spot light the lack of the law getting involved.

    one Hell of an awesome dude...my deepest regards and regrets that he has passed
    When I was a child
    I caught a fleeting glimpse
    Out of the corner of my eye.
    I turned to look but it was gone
    I cannot put my finger on it now
    The child is grown,
    The dream is gone.
    I have become comfortably numb...
