		Simon Wiesenthal, who has died aged 96 after a life that spanned the greater part of the last century, had some remarkable escapes from death by violence or from starvation in Hitler's concentration camps.
		Wiesenthal had been told his wife was dead after the street where she was living in Warsaw had been blown up after the Warsaw uprising; in fact the Nazis had not realised that she was Jewish, and she had ended the war alongside other Polish women as a forced labourer in Germany.
		Simon Wiesenthal's popular image was of an implacable Nazi-hunter who was determined to bring to justice the perpetrators of the Holocaust, including the "desk murderers" as much as the executioners themselves.
