Ben Ferencz - a Hero of the Jewish People

(Jerusalem Post) Evan Nierman - Ben Ferencz, 100, the last surviving Nuremberg prosecutor, made his mark on history when he was 27 when he successfully secured courtroom convictions against 22 Nazi perpetrators of crimes against humanity. He was chief prosecutor for the U.S. in the Einsatzgruppen case. Years after the war, he partnered with the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum's Simon-Skjodt Center for the Prevention of Genocide to establish the Ferencz International Justice Initiative. He also donated his personal archives to the Holocaust Museum. Ben's story is captured in a documentary titled "Prosecuting Evil: The Extraordinary World of Ben Ferencz."
