Simon Wiesenthal, the Holocaust survivor who fought anti-Semitism all his life, has died in Vienna. He was 96. Among the lucky few who survived the Nazi concentration camps of World War II, Wiesenthal did what most other survivors didn't - he refused to forget. Following the war, he spent all his life speaking out for 6,000,000 Jewish victims and hunting down their murderers across the globe. He also founded the Simon Wiesenthal Centre, in 1977.
Its famous Museum of Tolerance is, today, an international hub for the remembrance of the Holocaust and its victims.

In an interview to The Jerusalem Post International Edition, February 5, 1994: "The only value of nearly five decades of my work is a warning to the murderers of tomorrow, that they will never rest."

My Love . . .
She looked beautiful that day,
Fresh flowers arranged on her hair,
Dark red kumkum on her forehead,
And a glittering saree on her slender body.
She looked at me with affection,
Smiled that enchanting smile,
Her lips welcomed me with love,
Her hands held mine in a tight grip.
How I loved her,
How much I wanted her,
Deep rooted in my heart,
Such was my love for her.
My life would be with her,
My happiness shared by her,
Her sorrows would be mine,
Her wish, my command.
She would bear my children,
Care for my family,
Be with me forever,
Till the end of this life.
Brushing these thoughts aside,
And handing her a bouquet of flowers,
I wiped out my emotions,
And wished her
Wish you a happy married Life . . .
Why do badguys like me never win?
Why is it that we will end up either dying a fiery death into a volcano on some secret island in the pacific or get locked up.. and saying cliche lines like, "I'll get u next time!!!' or like' I would have succeded if not for those meddling kids and that stupid dog..' or even 'You think you're all that, but you're not Kim Possible!!'
Why do we never get a chance? How do they know that by us taking over the world, we might restore it and not destroy it and put everyone into slavery.. huh?! Who gave them the right to decide?
With whats going on with the world right now, i think that overall, all humans are the villains..
How do they know that the evil
geniuses are not evil at all, they just want to express thier intelligence in a more macabre way?
With the environmental degradation everywhere.. i wonder when we all will die like what happened to planet kryton..
And what genius came up with the idea to wipe ass with paper? I'd like to give him a piece of my mind.. Why cant we just use leaves like in the old days? Maybe, even.. this will sound crazy.. but why cant we just wash our asses.. water is renewable..why cant we use that?
And furthermore, what is up with plastic bags? what happened to all the paper bags? Paper is biodegradable, in fact it degrades much faster than plastic.. much much faster.. How about we use our own bags, we can make it ourselves with unused cloth.. it mught even be stronger and more durable than either plastic or paper bags..
And another thing, i know hunting has been always a way of life, but i know they meant hunting for food.. Which dumbass thought that they could just kill any rhino or tiger out there?? And if its not wrong for man to kill tigers, than whats so wrong for tigers to kill a man? I mean, we kill a man eating tiger and we're heroes, but when a tiger kills a man, they become the monsters..
You know what, i'm not proud to say this but, we humans are the monsters, we are the destroyers of earth, we humans are judgement day, the doom that everyone is so scared about will be brought upon by us.. yes us, me, you, the old man who feeds the pidgeons.. Humans..
And the sick thing is, were dragging all these other lifeforms with us to our graves..
I wonder what we ever did to get the responsibility of being the stewards of the earth, which is the only hospitable planet in the solar system.. Coz we sure as hell aint doin a good job at it..
Just stop, and have a moment to think... Help this dying earth, and paying your taxes doesn't really help.. Everyone pays taxes and the earth is still goin down the drain.. We need to deserve to live on this earth.. Having lots of money doesnt help if all you do is make the world worse..
All you other people out there, who have the power to help.. please do..
Blades will bleed
sheilds will shatter
But as the light fades
..will the hero rise again ?
or will darkness reign?
