The ultimate judgment is a compassionate one. Wiesenthal was driven, Mr Segev concludes, by guilt at not only having survived, but having had an easier time than most European Jews during much of the war. His mythomania may have been a way to burnish his image. But it also served in his pursuit of justice. His reputation, as well as a superb memory and a knack for networking, made him a magnet for countless scraps of information about suspected war criminals which he passed on to the authorities, badgering them relentlessly to make arrests. He battled official indifference, anti-Semitic attacks and, for many years, a chronic lack of funds.
How many Nazis he really helped to jail is impossible to say. More important was what he did to bring the Holocaust’s victims and their horrendous memories to worldwide attention. Gripping yet sober, this meticulous portrait of a complicated man is unlikely to be bettered.
