The Art of Remembrance - Simon Wiesenthal
Johanna Heer/Werner Schmiedel | Austria/USA | 1994 | 99 min. | documentary

Nontraditional in form, this documentary follows the life of Nazi hunter Simon Wiesenthal from his student days in Galicia, Eastern Europe, through the dark era of the Holocaust when he was imprisoned in a Nazi death camp for being Jewish, to the post-war period when he reached worldwide fame for his investigations of Nazi war criminals. Through Wiesenthal's story, we see that one man can make a difference.
