Simon Wiesenthal Documentary: May 8th, 7pm.
Located in Dartmouth Hall
105. Presented by Rabbi Ari
Hier. In the world today, where anti-Semitism is so
common, it is
our responsibility as Jews to educate
those around us so that the past is not repeated. The
film "I have never forgotten
you," presented by Rabbi
Ari Hier (son of the founder of The Simon Wiesenthal
Center), is a film that commemorates the life and
legacy of the famous Nazi hunter and humanist Simon
Wiesenthal, who died in 2005.
A Jew born in the
Ukraine, Wiesenthal survived the
Holocaust but lost
89 members of his own and his wife's family in the
concentration camps. He subsequently
dedicated more
than six decades of his life to tracking
down Nazi war
criminals. An architect by trade, he never practiced
his profession after the war. Not only did Wiesenthal
succeed in contributing to the prosecution of 1,100
war criminals, he was also one of the first people
to draw public attention to the camps, which held
gypsies, homosexuals, and many others
who
suffered under Nazi rule. Since its inception in 1977
as a one-man institution dedicated to Holocaust remembrance,
the Simon Wiesenthal Center has
become one of the most visible and vocal Jewish
voicesin the United States.
The Simon Wiesenthal Center:
The Simon Wiesenthal Center is an international Jewish
human rights organization dedicated to repairing the
world one step at a time. The Center's multifaceted
mission generates changes
through the Snider Social
Action Institute and through education by confronting
anti-Semitism, hate, and terrorism, as well as by
promoting human rights and dignity, standing with
Israel, defending the safety of Jews worldwide, and
teaching the lessons of the Holocaust for future
generations. With
a constituency of over
400,000
households in the United States, it is accredited as an
NGO at international organizations including the United
Nations, UNESCO, and the
Council of Europe.
Headquartered in Los Angeles, the Simon Wiesenthal
Center maintains offices in New York, Toronto, Palm
Beach, Paris, Buenos Aires and Jerusalem.
