Simon Wiesenthal

 
Based on what I read about Wiesenthal, he seems to have some unbelievable qualities. The Holocaust was very sad and the fact that people are able to brutally torture others just because of their race is sickening. Simon’s experiences can probably relate a lot to a black person’s in America. What I found to be most amazing about this survivor is that he is spent the rest of his life trying to teach people how wrong segregation is. I know that I would have a lot of trouble even talking about something that horrible. If I had been held in a concentration camp, I would probably want to erase the whole thing from my mind. He must have been very strong to be able to reflect on that and try to make changes. I think it’s great that he was able to locate former Nazis and have them punished. When he said that he didn’t want them to think they could kill all of those people and then just walk away, you could tell he was very brave and strong. It would probably be very hard to face the people that put you through all that torture. Some people are very special and deserve recognition for their brave actions.
