Simon Wiesenthal died last night. He was ninety-six.
I am a privileged woman in a privileged world, loved, indulged, and surrounded by comfort and security. His death makes me sad -- and angry, because we always need one more person who won't allow apathy to set in.
I might have more to say later. I'm not sure. It strikes me enormous, though, that such a man has left the world. I never thought about a figure like that dying.
