Last night I saw the play "Wiesenthal" at Bob Jones University.

It's also on tonight (Jan. 27), so if you live in the area and think you might be interested, I recommend it.

It's a one-man play. Simon Wiesenthal is at his last day of his life's work: hunting down Nazi war criminals and bringing them to justice.

He starts off saying that shame is the reason that people follow demagogues like Hitler, shame that they can't provide for their families.

Right before the play, I heard organ playing and the audience sang the national anthem, which I thought unusual. Also they said a prayer, which I didn't find unusual.

Anyhow, I recommend the play.

It's a brilliant look at how Wiesenthal and the rest of the nazi hunters started out.
