Simon Wiesenthal escaped Poland and managed to flee to India. He met with Mohandas Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru, sharing with them the horrors the Germans were visiting upon the Jews. Gandhi could not believe Wiesenthal; he was convinced that such actions would only be a country's ruin. Nehru suspected otherwise.
