Simon Wiesenthal weighed less than 100 pounds when American troops liberated Austria's Mauthausen concentration camp on May 5, 1945.[1] The former architect then devoted his life to bringing Nazi criminals to justice-criminals like Karl Silberbauer, the Gestapo member who arrested Anne Frank and her family in 1944.[2]
