“Your years of front-line experience in battling for human rights in the Middle East will make you a special asset to the United States Senate as well as to the people of your state. You also understand the importance of prompt action to prevent powerful governments from forsaking their civilized heritage as Germany’s did for twelve years in the twentieth century.... I hope you will tell all my friends in the United States of my good wishes for your campaign. You bring knowledge, wisdom, and courage to the political arena.”
- Simon Wiesenthal, Jan. 29, 2000, five years before his death, endorsing Ken for his run for U.S.
Senate in 2000.
