 Wiesenthal: A hero of justice has died - Perspectives
By 1954, an associate of Wiesenthal's had caught a glimpse of Adolph Eichmann living in Argentina. It wasn't until 1960 that Eichmann's precise whereabouts were pinpointed. Israeli secret service (Mossad) agents then captured Eichmann and transported him to Israel to face justice. Needless to say, Eichmann was found guilty and he was executed in 1962.
Another high-profile success was the capture of Karl Silberbauer, the Gestapo officer responsible for the arrest of Anne Frank. Silberbauer's confession helped discredit claims that the "Diary of Anne Frank" was a forgery.
Hermine Braunsteiner, one of the few women Nazi war criminals, was also brought to justice due to Wiesenthal's persistence. Braunsteiner was clandestinely living in New York City during the 1960s, at the time of her capture. In 1980, Braunsteiner was sentenced to life imprisonment for crimes she committed as an SS guard at Majdanek concentration camp.
