Simon Wiesenthal Center mourns the passing of Tom Tugend, a well-respected journalist and loyal Jew who not only covered Jewish history, but contributed to it. Tom was a dear friend of the Center and reported on its activities for 40+ years.

The Center extends its condolences to the Tugend family and trust that his memory will be of a blessing to all.
