Reflecting on a Nuremberg Legacy: The Story of Ben Ferencz

Marking eight decades since the initiation of the historic Nuremberg trials, we look back at the extraordinary life of Ben Ferencz. In a conversation with Lesley Stahl in 2017, 60 Minutes delved into the incredible journey of Ferencz, the last surviving prosecutor from the Nuremberg trials.

Born in 1920, Ben Ferencz held a pivotal role in holding Nazis accountable for their heinous acts of genocide. His dedication to the cause of justice remained unwavering throughout his extensive career, which was focused on preventing warfare and crimes against humanity.

Sadly, Ferencz passed away in 2023, having reached the age of 103. His legacy endures as a testament to his lifelong commitment to peace and justice.
