It's a very edifying book. A great read. A must read for anyone who studies the Holocaust or for anyone seeking to learn more about Simon Wiesenthal. This memoir really puts the Shoah in perspective. It is one of the best out there. The Holocaust happened and this is one survivors response. He did not forget, and Wiesenthal successfully admonishes us all to not forget the 6 million and to not forget their murderers. This Wiesenthal does without reducing the perpetrators to demons or monsters, Simon portrays them as real people who made a choice, who had a choice while so many did not and as human beings, we are responsible for our choices. This memoir is a memoir of a real person of ordinary proportions who became a hero because he spoke for the victims and did not give up. He did not do as so many do today. he did not become a vigilante. He did not pick up a gun. He did the leg work, gathered the testimony, listened to the victims, laughed with them, and cried with them. We now have a daunting task ahead of us. The survivors are all but dead, and the perpetrators are dying as well. It is up to us to continue Simon's work. Do not let the world forget the victims of genocide and so not let the world forget the perpetrators of genocide, especially the fact that they were real, ordinary people who were not born monsters or demons.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book

Thank you for this book. It arrived in excellent condition. I am halfway through the book and it is wonderful. I can't put it down. It tells details of Mr. Wiesenthal's unbelievable survival from concentration camps and how he escaped death Multiple Times! He was able to become the world Famous Nazi Hunter because of his drive to survive. I am reading the book, because I am writing my own book about how 5 of my family members were killed in one week, in Rabka Poland, (Catholic Poles int he Underground Resistance, who successfully saved 3 Jewish women). Mr. Wiesenthal's book gives an excellent Zeitgeist of the times in Nazi occupied Europe.

My dad loved it. Read it in just a few days. Then went on to Odessa Files. Only thing is now he is upset how the Catholic Church helped Nazis since he is old school Catholic. So he loved the book but the info in it hurt his feelings.

This is an excellent read! I love Simon Weisenthal. It's an autobiographical account of Weisenthal's awful time in 5 different Nazi work camps.
Miraculously, he escapes by so many different means. He believes in miracles, and so do I. If not for this brave man, many Nazi criminals would have simply melded in with society and lived normal lives.

5.0 out of 5 stars Justice delayed is better than none at all!
Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2015

Wisenthall's book was fascinating due to his use of true life stories - including his own experiences - in recounting his "call"
to honor the millions of the Holocaust dead by bringing those responsible to justice, even when many people wanted to forget
and move on. Even justice delayed is better than none at all!

I read this book in the paperback form years ago and there was no pictures in it. Happy to discover it is a first edition book and that makes it all the more valuble due to Simon Wiesenthal's passing.

5.0 out of 5 stars "a memento for the murderers of tomorrow" - Simon Weisenthal
Reviewed in Canada on October 10, 2022
Verified Purchase
Whether or not you believe the various stories detailing Weisenthal's pursuit of nazi war criminals, he was a real holocaust survivor, and this book having been published in the sixties gives you an understanding and first person perspective into the pursuits of such names as mengele, eichmann, etc.

It's a relevant read for anyone interested in the subject, and pretty riveting, especially as you're getting it right from the horse's mouth. And you know that Jews who have experienced the holocaust first-hand portrayed by Ben Kingsley (Otto Frank, Yitzhak Stern, Simon Weisenthal) are done-so for a reason.

Impossible book to find (which in itself is quite bizarre - even most libraries don't have it!), so finally getting my hands on even a paperback version is wonderful. All good!
