| | Hundreds honor Nazi hunter |
 | | HERZLIYA, Israel (AP) - Simon Wiesenthal, who spent half a century tirelessly tracking down Nazis hiding throughout the world, was laid to rest yesterday in Israel, the nation that sprang from the ashes of the Holocaust. |
 | | Wiesenthal, who died Tuesday in his sleep at his Vienna, Austria, home at age 96, lost 89 family members in the Holocaust, survived a dozen Nazi camps and weighed less than 100 pounds when he was liberated in 1945. |
 | | Speaker after speaker at the funeral in the Tel Aviv suburb of Herzliya saluted the man who, by his own count, helped bring more than 1,000 Nazi war criminals to justice, giving voice to the 6 million Jews who died in the Holocaust. |
