A life well spent. Famed Nazi hunter Simon Wiesthentahl died today at age 96, reports the AP.
A former concentration camp detainee who cheated death by the Nazis more than once, Wiesenthal was credited with tracking down more than 1,000 Nazi war criminals after the war.
Among them was Adolf Eichmann, architect of the "Final Solution" to exterminate all Jews in Europe. Based on information from Wiesenthal, Israeli agents kidnapped Eichmann in Argentina in 1960 and brought him to Israel for trial.
It was Weisenthal's vow that the Holacaust would never be forgotten.
