We just finished the most amazing interview with Ben Ferencz, one of the original prosecutors of the Nuremberg Trials. This 94-year old man still travels around the world, meets with leaders of state, lectures, publishes and works tirelessly to bring new solutions to acts of aggression and an end to war.

As an investigator of Nazi war crimes following WWII, he was one fo the first Americans to enter the concentration camps.  He collected evidence of war crimes, and witnessed the effects of some of the worst Nazi atrocities.

At age 27, he was hired as a lead prosecutor in the Nuremberg Trials.  He applied principles of humanitarian law to prosecute Nazi SS officers in what was known as the Einsatzgruppen trials, resulting in the convition of all 22 of the men on trial.

Since that time, he has dedicated his life to bringing new ways for the world to handle conflict. For more about his life and philosophy, check out his interview he did with NPR.
