This is the remarkable story of a man who has become a legend in his own lifetime. Simon Wiesenthal spent four and a half years in concentration camps during the Second World War, which ended for him in Mauthausen. With the exception of his wife, all his immediate family were exterminated, and he himself ended the war a living skeleton. Since then, he has achieved international renown for his tireless tracking down of Nazi war criminals, including notorious figures such as Adolf Eichmann, the 'desk murderer' who masterminded Hitler's Final Solution; Franz Stangl, the overlord of Treblinka; and Dr. Josef Mengele, the dreaded 'Angel of Auschwitz'.
