A Jewish Hero: Remembering Simon Wiesenthal
https://vimeo.com/409927379/41212f937e
Simon Wiesenthal. The conscience of the Holocaust. A Holocaust survivor who pledged to his fellow brothers and sisters - brutally murdered in the Shoah - that they would never be forgotten. A man who dedicated his life to bringing over 1,100 N**i war criminals to justice. A Jewish hero whose rallying cry was justice, not vengeance.
We remember Simon Wiesenthal who said, “When my life is over and I meet up with the six million, I will be proud to say to them, I have never forgotten you."
The Simon Wiesenthal Center is privileged to continue Mr. Wiesenthal’s legacy. Every day, we continue his work of combatting anti-Semitism, teaching the lessons of the Holocaust. standing up to evil, and protecting the safety of Jews everywhere. Now more than ever.
“I Have Never Forgotten You” is available streaming online:

Winston Churchill: Walking With Destiny, narrated by Sir Ben Kingsley, explores Winston Churchill, a leader who inspired his nation and the world at a time when the virus of N**ism and anti-Semitic hate was spreading across Europe.
Genocide — the Academy Award®-winner narrated by Elizabeth Taylor and Orson Wells — tells the story of when such a virus goes unchecked.
Both films are available for viewing on streaming platforms today.
On February 17, 1949, exactly 71 years ago, Israel’s parliament, the Knesset, elected its first President, Chaim Weizmann. As a young man in his native Russia, Weizmann was a fervent Zionist, inspired by the founder of the modern political Zionism, Theodor Herzl.
Later moving to Great Britain, he became a renowned scientist and his development of industrial fermentation and acetone played an integral role in the Allies victory in World War I.
At the end of WWI, Weizmann became the leader of the British Zionist movement and was integral in the creation of the Balfour Declaration, a British government policy which called for the establishment of a Jewish State in Palestine. Weizmann later became President of the World Zionist Organization and along with David Ben-Gurion, who became Israel’s first Prime Minister, became the face of the World Zionist movement.
Moriah Films documentary “It is No Dream: The Life of Theodor Herzl”, narrated by Academy Award®-winner, Sir Ben Kingsley and featuring Academy Award®-Winner Christoph Waltz as the voice of Theodor Herzl, recounts how Herzl, a well-known journalist and playwright, horrified by the anti-Semitism he saw spreading across Europe, created modern political Zionism. A little more than 50 years after Herzl declared at the First Zionist Congress in Basel “In Basel, I created the Jewish State,” his dream came true when the state of Israel came into being.
Continuing our salute to the amazing talents who’ve donated their time to narrate our films, we go back to 2010.
Sir Ben Kingsley, who previously narrated Moriah’s, “Unlikely Heroes” and appeared in “I Have Never Forgotten You” to discuss his close relationship with Simon Wiesenthal, served as the narrator for “Walking with Destiny”.
The documentary examines Winston Churchill’s lone fight against Adolf Hi**er after he became Prime Minister of Great Britain in 1940, and his efforts to convince Franklin Roosevelt to join the war effort.
The film was used as resource material by the producers of the Academy Award®️winning “The Darkest Hour”.
To continue our celebration of Moriah Films’ , we look back at the year 2000.
Academy Award®️Winne Michae Douglas donated his time and talent to narrate “In Search of Peace”, examining Israel’s first two decades of existence. Providing the voice of Golda Meir, was Academy Award®️ Winner and screen legend Anne Bancroft.
