Simon Wiesenthal, the Holocaust survivor who dedicated his life to tracking down Nazi war criminals, was seen all his life as a one-man organization. But now, documents from his estate show he was a Mossad agent.
A new book by Tom Segev, to be published on Thursday, reveals that the Mossad supported Wiesenthal – and also shows that Israel did more to capture Nazi war criminals than was previously known.
