"Book says noted Nazi hunter worked for Israel’s Mossad" by Ariel David, Associated Press | September 3, 2010
JERUSALEM — A new book says renowned Nazi hunter Simon Wiesenthal worked for Israel’s Mossad spy agency, providing information on war criminals and Germans working in Arab countries.
The assertions in “Wiesenthal — The Life and Legends’’ shed a different light on the Holocaust survivor previously believed to have conducted a lone quest to bring war criminals, such as top Nazi Adolf Eichmann, to justice.
Yeah, it SURE DOES shed a DIFFERENT LIGHT on the WHOLE THING!
It “is quite surprising in the context of his own story, because he was always regarded as a loner, someone who does everything alone against all odds and against local law enforcement,’’ said Tom Segev, the book’s author and an Israeli historian.

Rabbi Marvin Hier, the founder of the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Los Angeles, said Wiesenthal had told him he had assisted the Mossad. But Hier said he never realized how formal the relationship had been or that Wiesenthal had been paid for it.
In the book, Segev writes that the famed Nazi hunter worked with Israeli agents even before the establishment of the Mossad in 1949....
They told him what to say and write, huh?
Wiesenthal worked with the Mossad until 1970, operating under the code name “Theocrat’’ and providing Israeli intelligence information on suspected war criminals, neo-Nazi groups that threatened Jewish communities in Europe, and German scientists working for Egypt’s rocket program.
The agency helped Wiesenthal open his office in Vienna and put him on the payroll with a monthly retainer....
Wiesenthal survived the Nazi death camps and spent the rest of his life documenting the Holocaust, helping refugees, and pursuing Nazi war criminals, often with little aid from authorities in the countries that served as a haven for the wanted men. He died in Vienna in 2005, at age 97.
And now it turns out most of his life was a lie.
