Interesting you mention the Wikipedia page that didn't exist last week, because this is also what I discovered after reading the CPC comment that this could have been resolved "by a simple google search". I googled, and what I found was that only The Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center for Holocaust Studies seemed to have a history on him, and everything else came out from this scandal, after we were alerted by said organization. 

 @b541bfe5 @164ff7a2 @99da4819 It would be just like the CPC to have set this up to score cheap points. It’s what they do. That doesn’t excuse any lack of diligence in the speaker’s office of course. 

 @b541bfe5 @164ff7a2 @99da4819 he also would have been 17/18 at the time. Nothing close to a mastermind in a position of authority or leadership. He was probably a kid in a hard place along with many others. 

 @549f070b @b541bfe5 @164ff7a2 Old enough to understand murder. Anyways, why avoid the trial if your hands are clean? If he isn't connected to atrocities, why does he need to be harboured here? Contrary to how it may seem, Simon Wiesenthal didn't just pursue anyone with a Nazi party card. He pursued ones he had evidence that deserved to be tried.
