As a Holocaust survivor, Simon Wiesenthal (1908-2005) devoted his life to gathering and documenting information about Nazi war criminals in order to prosecute them. Wiesenthal's method of work was based on the careful collection of every possible piece of paper and item of information about the criminals, the concentration and documentation of the material in his humble offices in Vienna, and its transfer to the appropriate authorities for detection and extradition proceedings. Wiesenthal was able to prosecute more than 1,100 war criminals who were responsible for mass murders during the Holocaust.
