Wiesenthal, imprisoned in five different extermination camps, subsequently dedicated the rest of his life to hunting down Nazi war criminals responsible for the deaths of 11 million people, including 6 million Jews.
“The Nazi hunter. The adventurous life of Simon Wiesenthal”, takes us to Vienna in 2003, with the protagonist on his last day of work before retirement in the office/museum of the Jewish Documentation Center, which he himself founded. This place, so significant for Wiesenthal, will create the opportunity to retrace his dramatic and adventurous life. Remo Girone will give voice to the thoughts of a man who has always attached great importance to memory and justice.
The determination to let people know what happened, so that it never happens again, is Wiesenthal's main intention in his intense pursuit of Nazi criminals, an investigation that allowed him to bring to justice Karl Silberbauerthe Gestapo non-officer responsible for the arrest of Anne FrankAnd Adolf Eichmanthe man who planned what Hitler liked to call “the final solution”.
