Wiesenthal was born on 31 December 1908, in Buczacz ( Buchach), Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria, then part of Austria-Hungary, now Ternopil Oblast, in Ukraine. The Simon Wiesenthal Center, headquartered in Los Angeles, is named in his honour. Wiesenthal died in his sleep at age 96 in Vienna on 20 September 2005 and was buried in the city of Herzliya in Israel. ![]() In particular, he exaggerated his role in the capture of Eichmann in 1960. With a reputation as a storyteller, Wiesenthal was the author of several memoirs containing tales that are only loosely based on actual events. Wiesenthal, embarrassed that he had previously cleared Waldheim of any wrongdoing, suffered negative publicity as a result of this event. In 1986, Wiesenthal was involved in the case of Kurt Waldheim, whose service in the Wehrmacht and probable knowledge of the Holocaust were revealed in the lead-up to the 1986 Austrian presidential elections. Wiesenthal successfully sued for libel, the suit ending in 1989. Kreisky, angry, called Wiesenthal a "Jewish fascist", likened his organisation to the Mafia, and accused him of collaborating with the Nazis. Shortly after Bruno Kreisky was inaugurated as Austrian chancellor in April 1970, Wiesenthal pointed out to the press that four of his new cabinet appointees had been members of the Nazi Party. In the 1970s and 1980s, Wiesenthal was involved in two high-profile events involving Austrian politicians. He played a small role in locating Adolf Eichmann, who was captured by the Mossad in Buenos Aires in 1960, and worked closely with the Austrian justice ministry to prepare a dossier on Franz Stangl, who was sentenced to life imprisonment in 1971. He opened the Documentation Centre of the Association of Jewish Victims of the Nazi Regime in Vienna in 1961 and continued to try to locate missing Nazi war criminals. In 1947, he co-founded the Jewish Historical Documentation Centre in Linz, Austria, where he and others gathered information for future war crime trials and aided refugees in their search for lost relatives. ![]() He survived the Janowska concentration camp (late 1941 to September 1944), the Kraków-Płaszów concentration camp (September to October 1944), the Gross-Rosen concentration camp, a death march to Chemnitz, Buchenwald, and the Mauthausen concentration camp (February to ).Īfter the war, Wiesenthal dedicated his life to tracking down and gathering information on fugitive Nazi war criminals so that they could be brought to trial. He studied architecture and was living in Lwów at the outbreak of World War II. Simon Wiesenthal KBE (31 December 1908 – 20 September 2005) was a Jewish Austrian Holocaust survivor, Nazi hunter, and writer. ![]() Vienna Wiesenthal Institute for Holocaust Studies.She was mounted with some foam tape and the card was finished off with the sentiment stamped in Gold Delicata ink onto one of the Simon Says Stamp Tilted Banners. I fussy cut her as I don’t own the co-ordinating dies right now and used a Versamark pen to emboss the heart with the same gold powder I used for the stripes. For little Lila, I simply stamped her in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and coloured her with Copics. For my shaker element I used some gorgeous gold sequins and confetti from Lucy’s Cards. I die cut the panel using dies from the Stitched Rectangles and Stitched Squares and adhered a piece of vellum to create the window. This is a sweet little stamp stamp set designed by Shari Carroll and the gorgeous little girl is inspired by Jennifer McGuire’s little daughter – how sweet! I created my front shaker panel by first stamping the new Diagonal Stripes background in Versamark and then heat embossing using Ranger Enchanted Gold powder. I’m excited to be sharing a card today featuring a gorgeous new set from Simon Says Stamp called Lila’s Heart. The day has finally arrived!
