NOTE: The sponsors of this website know that Israel is not perfect - neither is the U.S. or any other country. However, Israel is a special refuge for Jews and many others around the world and should be protected as such. The sponsors of this website believe in a two state solution to resolve the Israeli/Palestinian conflict.

AN ALTERNATIVE: Instead of boycotts, which divide people and ascribe blame to one side or the other, you can support peace between Israelis and Palestinians by supporting organizations such as the NEW ISRAEL FUND, which sponsors projects of collaboration and cooperation between Israelis and Palestinians.

I Have Never Forgotten You

I Have Never Forgotten You is a comprehensive look at the life and legacy of Simon Wiesenthal, the famed Nazi hunter and humanitarian. Narrated by Academy-Award®-winner Nicole Kidman, it features interviews with longtime Wiesenthal associates, government leaders from around the world, and friends and family members -many of whom have never discussed the legendary Nazi hunter and humanitarian on camera. What was the driving force behind his work? What kept him going when for years the odds were against his efforts? What is his legacy today, more than 60 years after the end of World War II?
