Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Gr 6-9--Jeffrey describes the life and exploits of the famous Nazi-hunter. Although there are many stories of how he caught and brought to justice such infamous war criminals as Adolph Eichmann, Franz Stangl, and even the agent who arrested Anne Frank and her family, Wiesenthal never tracked them in person. Instead, he investigated war criminals by interviewing survivors, keeping careful index card records, advising authorities of the Nazi's whereabouts, seeking their prosecution in the courts, and providing witnesses. The author also touches upon Wiesenthal's connections with Los Angeles's Simon Wiesenthal Center, his stormy relations with Austrian Chancellor Bruno Kreisky, and the controversies surrounding the investigation of Kurt Waldheim's wartime activities and Wiesenthal's refusal to denounce him as a Nazi criminal. Some of the black-and-white photos are excellent; others are a bit fuzzy. Simply and clearly written, this book should be of much interest to all.

SOMEWHAT MISLEADING TITLE....,
By Insight (Midwest) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Simon Wiesenthal: Tracking Down Nazi Criminals (People to Know) (Library Binding)
Weisenthal didn't track down anyone in the spy sense. He interviewed them and was a great man in this area of expertise. The author misleads you with the title.
I liked Simon Wiesenthal's own memoirs, "The Murderers Among Us", a whole lot more. The best TRACKER story is the great PETER MALKIN! Read Malkins books: 1.) Eichmann in My Hands, 2.) Ultimatum PU 94 (aka Peter Mann) and the extremely rare collectible 3.) Carlos Must Die. MALKIN and WIESENTHAL both died in 2005.
