Death of Simon Wiesenthal - Condoleezza Rice
Death of Simon Wiesenthal
Statement by
Secretary Condoleezza Rice
Washington, DC
September 21, 2005
I am saddened by the death of
Simon Wiesenthal. For over 50 years, he played a central
role in the investigation of Nazi war criminals and
Holocaust research. In addition to his efforts to
commemorate over six million Holocaust victims and to seek
justice for survivors, Mr. Wiesenthal will be remembered as
an eloquent spokesman against anti-Semitism and racism and
for using the Jewish experience in World War II as a
lesson for all humanity.
