Simon Wiesenthal, known as the “Nazi Hunter,” dedicated his life to seeking justice for the six million Jewish victims of the Holocaust. After assembling a list of Nazi war criminals, he relentlessly tracked them down one by one and ensured they faced trial, with his most significant victory being the capture of Adolf Eichmann. Though Wiesenthal was accused of embellishment and self-promotion, his relentless pursuit of justice ensured that the memory of the Holocaust would continue to endure to this day.
