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. — Woodrow Wilson NEW COMPUTERIZED SECURITY EQUIPMENT ALLSTATE ALARM SYSTEMS 1 NC Thousands of satisfied customers CALL THE 255-1540 ROTT BROS MARTY CY SHEL 17534 W. 7 MILE, DETROIT LICENSED BY MICH.
