I could find only three autobiographies by Simon Wiesenthal born Szymon (Simon) Wiesenthal on December 31, 1908!. The first was "The Murderers Among Us", first published in 1967!.
The second was "Justice Not Vengeance: Recollections" published in 1989 and written when Wiesenthal was 80!.
The third is "The Sunflower: On the Possibilities and Limits of Forgiveness" published in 1990 in honour of the 20th anniversary of his autobiography "The Sunflower" (1970)!. Perhaps this is the one your teacher recommended!.
This is the readers guide to "The Sunflower!.!.!."

There is speculation that because of Wiesenthal's conflicting responses about his wartime years, he may has been a collaborator or worse!.
