And now for something completely different... Mahatma Mohandas Gandhi (two monty python's cultural references in two entries at the same day, that should be a kind of record someway).
I admit that everyone knows who is Gandhi, (if not, and if you are over five years you should go to the doctor, that is kind of strange) so I won't explain about the general facts of him (in fact it is because I hate writing with a computer).
After graduating at university in London he moved to South Africa were he worked for a Indian firm, there he suffered fron racism at a train (I have to admit that whities have been total douchebags in history). As he studied law at London, he worked as a lawyer defending indians' rights in South Africa.
Then he went back to India, where he began fighting for independence peacefully, because he thought that it was the best way of doing it.
Mahatma is a religious title that means "Great Soul", and it is very self-explicable, isn't it?
He thought that India shouldn't fight because British can't fight in name of freedom while India isn't free.
Ha was killed in 1948 by a Hindu nationalist that was against his unity ideals.
"An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind". This statement means that if we use always violence we will kill each other until everyone is death. It is mainly the first reason that he use for defending peacefully means.
For further information about India have a look at the prezi three entries below.

THE NUREMBERG TRIALS: how to get rid of slag
After WWII the nazi party was declared a criminal organization, mainly by two chief reasons; crimes against humanity and for stablishing a fascist dictatorship ( same as F.E. de JONS in Spain, huh?) well actually three (this is beginning to sound like the Spanish Inquisition (expected by nobody)) and the third reason is (thankfully) losing the war.
The Nurember Trials were held during 1945 and 1946 in the garman city of Nuremberg and the reason were the ones exposed above.
These were tthe first modern international trials held in history that would stablish worldwide justice between nations (in Spain out of order). Judges came fron the leading allied countries, one per countriy (USSR, France, UK, USA).
Most of the senior Nazis weren't tried because they commited to suicide before they were trapped by the allies, it would be nice if they were tried, but al last they didn't stay alive.
Simon Wiesenthal
This man was a jew prisoner in Mauthausen-Gusen which, after being freed by the US army began his resaerches as a Nazihunter. During the time he was the camp, he put the name of all the nazis he met to pursue and judge them when peace arrived. After the lost of interest of the US and the USSR in pursuing nazis he kept his researches in order to imprison somo high officer that scaped.
