Ben Ferencz turns 103 today.

He was a recent Harvard law graduate when he was tasked with helping to set up the United States’ first war crimes branch in Europe. He collected evidence of N**i crimes as the Allies liberated concentration camps.

What he saw forever changed him: “I witnessed a deadly vision I can never forget—the crematoria aglow with the fire of burning flesh, the mounds of emaciated corpses stacked like cordwood waiting to be burned. I had peered into hell.”

Ben was asked to gather proof to be used in the Nuremberg trials, where N**i perpetrators would be held accountable for crimes associated with the Holocaust. There was no prosecutor available when new evidence was uncovered documenting the murder of more than one million Jews by the Einsatzgruppen, perpetrators of mass shooting operations. So, at age 27, with no prior trial experience, Ben prosecuted the case—then known as “the biggest murder trial in history.”

The last living Nuremberg war crimes prosecutor, Ben has devoted his life to fighting for peace and justice. Learn why his motto is "never give up."
