A noble life the world must not forget

Re “Nazi Hunter Loyal to the Dead,” obituary, Sept. 21

We should not weep for a man who lived life with a noble and vital purpose, but pay our respects for his words, thoughts and deeds. He was a witness to mankind’s worst moments, yet took inspiration from those times to bring the criminally responsible before the world for the sake of justice. For that alone, we should affirm, declare and swear before all the world that Simon Wiesenthal lived a life that should be held as an exemplar for those who suffered the insufferable.

Let him not slip gently into the pages of history, nay, but hold what he accomplished on the cusp of living memory, that he may never be forgot for the sake of posterity.

I see 6 million people and thousands and thousands of deceased Holocaust survivors (including my father) giving Simon Wiesenthal a standing ovation as he enters the gates of heaven.
