| | Tolerance.org: Remembering Simon Wiesenthal |
 | | Wiesenthal played an important, although disputed, role in helping the Israeli secret service track down Adolf Eichmann, the architect of the Nazis' "Final Solution." Eichmann was captured in Argentina, tried and executed in Israel in 1961. |
 | | In one of his most high-profile cases, Wiesenthal brought Karl Silberbauer, the Gestapo officer who arrested Anne Frank, to justice. |
 | | He also helped bring Franz Stangl, the commandant of the death camp at Treblinka, and Hermine Braunsteiner of the camp at Majdanek to justice, along with many others. |
