No, Simon Wiesenthal was not a Holocaust survivor and did not lie about his personal experiences during the Holocaust. Rather, he was a Nazi hunter who dedicated his life to bringing Nazi war criminals to justice and raising awareness about the horrors of the Holocaust.
However, as the article discusses, there is criticism of Wiesenthal's claim that 11 million civilians were killed in the Holocaust, including 6 million Jewish victims, and that he used this number to attract attention to Jewish suffering. While the total number of victims of the Holocaust is a matter of historical debate and estimation, it is accurately established that over six million Jewish people were systematically murdered by the Nazis and their collaborators during the Holocaust.
