Simon Wiesenthal was liberated from a German concentration camp in 1944. Since then. he has dedicated his whole life to hunting down the Nazis responsible for murdering millions of his people. In 1981, he is the only active hunter left. What is his motive? Is it justice or is it revenge?
Bernard Jackson visited him in Vienna to seek some answers to those questions. He sought, too, the opinions of other survivors of the holocaust: KITTY HART , MARIA BIELISKA ALBIN OSSOWSKI , and heard the evidence of Jewish teaching on revenge and forgiveness from the Chief Rabbi, Dr Immanuel Jakobovits.
