...Genocide Avenger Known as the Nazi hunter who pursued war criminals for more than 50 years, Simon Wiesenthal [MILESTONES, Oct. 3] helped with the arrest of 1,000 people charged with killing Jews. Wiesenthal, who was himself imprisoned in several concentration camps, became the conscience of the Holocaust, making certain that the atrocities of World War II were not forgotten. On March 31, 1967, TIME wrote about Wiesenthal's memoir The Murderers Among Us. Here is an excerpt from the review that touches on the fate of the young Jewish diarist Anne Frank...

Justin McCarthy, professor of history at the University of Louisville in Kentucky, says that he thinks that the events were not genocide because some Armenians survived. Can you imagine the same words being said about the Jewish Holocaust? Would such a statement be acceptable to Time magazine? The narrator of the dvd says (over images of the genocide monument in Yerevan ) that historical facts were falsified when they were transmitted to the young generation. Can you imagine a dvd presenting images from the Yad Vashem monument, together with an explanation...
...light of these concerns, we respectfully ask you to promptly take the following steps: Disclose, if any, the official standards Time magazine respects when it contemplates issuing an ad. We also would like to know if, for example, Time magazine would have accepted a similarly hateful dvd denying the Holocaust. Distribute, free of charge, a dvd prepared by the European Armenian Federation for Justice and Democracy (eafjd) regarding the history and modern-day consequences of the Armenian genocide. Donate the advertisement receipts from this campaign to nonprofit organizations advocating the truth about the Armenian genocide and other genocides. Thank...
