Wiesenthal
honoured West Germany has awarded one of its top honours to a Nazi-hunter, Simon Wiesenthal, for his contribution to reconciliation between Germans and Jews. Mr Wiesenthal, who is 76, played a key role in the capture in 1960 and subsequent trial of Adolf Eichmann and has devoted his life to tracking down other Nazi war criminals through the Vienna-based Jewish Documentation Centre he heads. The West German Chancellor, Dr Helmut Kohl, in a telegram congratulating Mr Wiesenthal on the award of the Grosser Verdienstkreuz (Grand Service Cross), said West Germany was honouring his constant commitment to reconciliation between Germans and Jews. Mr Wiesenthal, born in Buczacz, Poland, was held in 12 Nazi concentration camps during World War 11. Eightynine of his relatives were killed in the holocaust.— Bonn.
