"As an old Austrian by birth, I attended elementary school in Vienna, my father fell in the war as an Austrian soldier, and I myself settled in Austria fifty-to years ago after the Nazis had abducted me as far as Mauthausen, where I was liberated at the eleventh hour. I really don't feel like a stranger in this country."Simon Wiesenthal, 1997"Our great desire here at the Jewish Museum Vienna is to remember Simon Wiesenthal 10 years after his death. The exhibition Wiesenthal in Vienna analyzes and illustrates Wiesenthal's relationship to the city of his work andunderlines his significance in the culture of remembrance and the fight against forgetting. It was important to Simon Wiesenthal to heighten people's sensibility to present day human rights violations via the memory of the mass murder committed by the National Socialists. In the face of the tragic fates of refugees today and the helplessness of politicians to react to this, his warning voice is sorely missed. That there can be no humane future as long as the past is denied was one of his key principles."- Wiensenthal in Wien / Wiesenthal in Vienna
