One Small Step

The infamous Nazi hunter, Simon Wiesenthal was once asked

“Simon, if you had gone back to building houses, you’d be a millionaire. Why didn’t you?”

“You’re a religious man,” replied Wiesenthal. “You believe in God and life after death. I also believe. When we come to the other world and meet the millions of Jews who died in the camps and they ask us, ‘What have you done?’, there will be many answers. You will say, ‘I became a jeweler’, Another will say, I have smuggled coffee and American cigarettes’, Another will say, ‘I built houses’, But I will say, ‘I didn’t forget you.’”

We are kind of celebrating a small step here. We have placed our first WANTED page. Lots of details are missing. And he is hiding within a system that wants to protect him. I’m sure Didier Bourguet, and the hundred of others like him are not overly concerned with our web site. But they should be…

There are thousand of victims, many still mere children, and their families who have suffered unspeakable atrocities at the hands of these perpetrators. They have been scarred for life.

But many of these victims have had their stories documented. Sometimes by the perpetrators themselves. But also by the countless aid workers, and peacekeepers, who because of their love for humanity, have sacrificed to make this world a better place.

We are building a data base that will bring these stories together. Relying on that same conscientiousness, that caused people to leave normal lives, and give of themselves. That victims will become survivors, and begin to share their stories. Maybe even some of the perpetrators may wish to appease their conscience.

From whatever source, like pieces of a puzzle. The fragments will join together and provide the evidence needed to be able to pursue the individuals who have preyed on the weak and helpless.

To Didier Bourguet, and others like him. Welcome to UN Terroritory
