In late , Wiesenthal and his wife were transferred to Janowska concentration camp and forced to work at the Eastern Railway Repair Works. He painted swastikas and other inscriptions on captured Soviet railway engines, and Cyla was put to work polishing the brass and nickel. In exchange for providing details about the railways, Wiesenthal obtained false identity papers for his wife from a member of the Armia Krajowa , a Polish underground organisation. She travelled to Warsaw, where she was put to work in a German radio factory.

She spent time in two different labour camps as well. Conditions were harsh and her health was permanently damaged, but she survived the war. The couple was reunited in , and their daughter Paulinka was born the following year. Every few weeks, the Nazis staged a roundup in the Lvov ghetto of people unable to work.

These roundups typically took place while the able-bodied were absent doing forced labour. In one such deportation, Wiesenthal's mother and other elderly Jewish women were transported by freight train to Belzec extermination camp and killed in August Around the same time, a Ukrainian policeman shot Cyla's mother to death on the front porch of her home in Buczacz while she was being evicted. Cyla and Simon Wiesenthal lost 89 relatives during the Holocaust. Forced labourers for the Eastern Railway were eventually kept in a separate closed camp, where conditions were a little better than at the main camp at Janowska.

Wiesenthal prepared architectural drawings for Adolf Kohlrautz, the senior inspector, who submitted them under his own name. To obtain contracts, construction companies paid bribes to Kohlrautz, who shared some of the money with Wiesenthal. He was able to pass along further information about the railroads to the underground and occasionally left the compound to obtain supplies, even clandestinely obtaining weapons for the Armia Krajowa and two pistols for himself, which he took along when he escaped in autumn According to Wiesenthal, on 20 April , Second Lieutenant Gustav Wilhaus, second in command at the Janowska camp, decided to shoot 54 Jewish intellectuals in celebration of Hitler's 54th birthday.

Unable to find enough such people still alive at Janowska, Wilhaus ordered a roundup of prisoners from the satellite camps. Wiesenthal and two other inmates were taken from the Eastern Railway camp to the execution site, a trench 6 feet 1. The men were stripped and led through "the Hose", a six- or seven-foot wide barbed wire corridor to the execution ground. The victims were shot and their bodies allowed to fall into the pit.

Wiesenthal, waiting to be shot, heard someone called out his name. He was returned alive to the camp; Kohlrautz had convinced his superiors that Wiesenthal was the best man available to paint a giant poster in honour of Hitler's birthday.

On 2 October , according to Wiesenthal, Kohlrautz warned him that the camp and its prisoners were about to be liquidated. Kohlrautz gave Wiesenthal and fellow prisoner Arthur Scheiman passes to go to town, accompanied by a Ukrainian guard, to buy stationery. The two men escaped out the back of the shop while their guard waited at the front counter. Wiesenthal did not mention either of these events--or Kohlrautz's part in them--when testifying to American investigators in May , or in an affidavit he made in August about his wartime persecutions, and researcher Guy Walters questions their authenticity.

Wiesenthal variously reported that Kohlrautz was killed on the Soviet Front in or in the Battle of Berlin on 19 April After several days in hiding, Scheiman rejoined his wife, and Wiesenthal was taken by members of the underground to the nearby village of Kulparkow, where he remained until the end of Soon afterwards the Janowska camp was liquidated; this made it unsafe to hide in the nearby countryside, so Wiesenthal returned to Lvov, where he spent three days hiding in a closet at the Scheiman's apartment.

He next moved to the apartment of Paulina Busch, for whom he had previously forged an identity card. He was arrested there, hiding under the floorboards, on 13 June and taken back to the remains of the camp at Janowska. Wiesenthal tried but failed to commit suicide to avoid being interrogated about his connections with the underground. In the end there was no time for interrogations, as Soviet forces were advancing into the area.

SS- Hauptsturmfuhrer Friedrich Warzok, the new camp commandant, rounded up the remaining prisoners and transported them to Przemy? By October the inmates were evacuated to Gross-Rosen concentration camp , where inmates were suffering from severe overcrowding and a shortage of food.

Wiesenthal's big toe on his right foot had to be amputated after a rock fell on it while he was working in the quarry. He was still ill in January when the advancing Soviets forced yet another evacuation, this time on foot, to Chemnitz. Using a broom handle for a walking stick, he was one of the few who survived the march. From Chemnitz the prisoners were taken in open freight cars to Buchenwald , and a few days later by truck to Mauthausen concentration camp , arriving in mid-February Over half the prisoners did not survive the journey.

Wiesenthal was placed in a death block for the mortally ill, where he survived on calories a day until the camp was liberated by the Americans on 5 May Within three weeks of the liberation of Mauthausen, Wiesenthal had prepared a list of around a hundred names of suspected Nazi war criminals--mostly guards, camp commandants, and members of the Gestapo --and presented it to a War Crimes office of the American Counterintelligence Corps at Mauthausen.

He worked as an interpreter, accompanying officers who were carrying out arrests, though he was still very frail.

Wiesenthal went with them, and was housed in a displaced persons camp. He served as vice-chairman of the area's Jewish Central Committee, an organisation that attempted to arrange basic care for Jewish refugees and tried to help people gather information about their missing family members. Wiesenthal worked for the American Office of Strategic Services for a year, and continued to collect information on both victims and perpetrators of the Holocaust.

He assisted the Berihah , an underground organisation that smuggled Jewish survivors into the British Mandate for Palestine. Wiesenthal helped arrange for forged papers, food supplies, transportation, and so on. In February , he and 30 other volunteers founded the Jewish Documentation Center in Linz to gather information for future war crimes trials. Almost all of the documentation collected at both centres was forwarded to the Yad Vashem archives in Israel.

When the Germans first came to my city in Galicia, half the population was Jewish: When the Germans were gone, five hundred were alive. Many times I was thinking that everything in life has a price, so to stay alive must also have a price. And my price was always that, if I lived, I must be deputy for many people who are not alive. Though most of the Jews still alive in Linz after the war had emigrated, Wiesenthal decided to stay on, partly because the family of Adolf Eichmann lived a few blocks away from him. Wiesenthal learned from a letter shown to him in that Eichmann had been seen in Buenos Aires , and he passed along that information to the Israeli consulate in Vienna in He provided these photographs to Mossad agents on 18 February.

The next day Wiesenthal, while he was being interviewed by reporters, received a congratulatory telegram from Yad Vashem. He immediately became a minor celebrity, and began work on a book about his experiences. Tatsachenbericht I Chased Eichmann: A True Story was published six weeks before the trial opened in spring Wiesenthal helped the prosecution prepare their case and attended a portion of the trial.

Meanwhile, both of Wiesenthal's employers terminated his services in , as there were too few refugees left in the city to justify the expense. He became a Mossad operative, for which he received the equivalent of several hundred dollars per month. Successes included locating and bringing to trial Erich Rajakowitsch, responsible for the deportation of Jews from the Netherlands, [56] and Franz Murer , the commandant of the Vilna Ghetto.

Wiesenthal's publicity campaign led to Silberbauer being temporarily suspended from the force, but he was never prosecuted for arresting the Frank family. In spite of Wiesenthal's protests, in late his centre in Vienna was taken over by a local community group, so he immediately set up a new independent office, funded using donations and his stipend from the Mossad. In March the Bundestag deferred the matter for five years, effectively extending the expiration date. Similar action was taken by the Austrian government.

Witnesses grew older and were less likely to be able to offer valuable testimony. Funding for trials was inadequate, as the governments of Austria and Germany became less interested in obtaining convictions for wartime events, preferring to forget the Nazi past. Franz Stangl was a supervisor at the Hartheim Euthanasia Centre , part of Action T4 , an early Nazi euthanasia programme that was responsible for the deaths of over 70, mentally ill or physically deformed people in Germany.

In February , he was commander at the Sobibor extermination camp and in August of the same year he was transferred to Treblinka. During his time at these camps, he oversaw the deaths of nearly , people. He escaped while on a roadwork detail in Linz in May It was probably Stangl's brother-in law who informed Wiesenthal of Stangl's whereabouts in Wiesenthal's publishers advertised that he had been responsible for locating over Nazis, a claim that had no basis in fact but was nonetheless repeated by reputable newspapers such as the New York Times. A cruel and sadistic woman, she earned her nickname for her propensity to kick her victims to death.

She became an American citizen in Wiesenthal was first told about Braunsteiner in early via a chance encounter in Tel Aviv with someone who had seen her performing selections at Majdanek--deciding who was to be assigned to slave labour and who was to immediately be killed in the gas chambers. When he returned to Vienna he had an operative visit one of her relatives to clandestinely collect information. Her trial was part of a joint indictment with nine other defendants accused of killing , people at Majdanek. She was sentenced to life imprisonment in and died in Josef Mengele was a medical officer assigned to Auschwitz concentration camp from until the end of the war.

As well as making most of the selections of inmates as they arrived by train from all over Europe, he performed unscientific and usually deadly experiments on the inmates. He acquired a Red Cross passport and left for Argentina, [78] setting up a business in Buenos Aires in Wiesenthal claimed to have information that placed Mengele in several locations: He thought the museum was not dignified enough and that he should have a larger say in the overall operations.

He even wrote to the Board of Directors requesting Hier's removal, but in the end had to be content with being a figurehead. In an interview a week later, Kreisky himself described Wiesenthal as a "Jewish fascist", a remark he later denied making. Wiesenthal discovered that he would be unable to sue, because under Austrian law Kreisky was protected by parliamentary immunity.

When his re-election in seemed unsure, Kreisky proposed that his Social Democratic Party should form a coalition with the Freedom Party , headed by Friedrich Peter. Wiesenthal was in possession of information proving that Peter had been a member of the 1 SS Infantry Brigade , a unit that had exterminated over 13, Jewish civilians in Ukraine in Schindler's Ark flipback edition Thomas Keneally.
