"The Simon Wiesenthal Center mourns the passing of brilliant, passionate, irrepressible Charles Krauthammer. He overcame a horrific injury to his body. It never damaged his soul. America has losthim just when we need a strong dose of his integrity most. His memory will always be a blessing," said Rabbi Marvin Hier, Founder and Dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center and RabbiAbraham Cooper, Associate Dean and Director of Global Social Action.
