WIESENTHAL
opher Dodd (D-Conn.), who
sponsored the resolutions in
the Senate and House
awarding Wiesenthal the
medal, also were present.
Wiesenthal was an ar-
chitect when he was
seized by the Nazis and
incarcerated in concen-
tration camps until he
was liberated by Ameri-
can forces on May 5, 1945,
as one of 34 prisoners out
of an original group of
149,000.
Tracing Wiesenthal's de-
votion to "build justice,"
Carter observed that Wie-
senthal set up the Jewish
Documentation Center in
Vienna, where for more
than three decades, he has
led the search for Nazi war
criminals. His work is being
continued at the Simon
Wiesenthal Center for
Holocaust Studies at
Yeshiva University in Los
Angeles.
Recalling Wiesenthal's
words, "I believe in God and
the world to come" and that
"when each of us comes be-
fore the six million I will say
I did not forget you," Carter
concluded to a standing ova-
tion "nor Simon Wiesent-
hal, will the world forget
you."
In accepting the medal
from Carter as "the only
trustee" of the Nazi victims,
Wiesenthal hugged the
President and kissed him on
both cheeks. He told the
audience, which included
many prominent American
Jews, "I am not a hater and
the word revenge has no
meaning for me."
Americans agree that in
Palestine shall be laid the
foundations of a Jewish
commonwealth.
