One of those individuals I have respected the most, is now dead, aged 96.
Simon Wiesenthal, who lost most of his family in the Nazi death-camps was a tireless searcher for justice, and brought many war criminals to court.
At the same time, he never fell into unjust demonization of others; he was thoroughly civilized and never engaged in frenzied witch-hunts.
I'm saddened by our loss, but grateful for what he has meant to all of us.
