The Nuremberg Prosecutor: Benjamin Ferencz | PBS America
Although several prominent Nazis had eluded the hangman by suicide, many others were in Allied custody. This documentary focuses on the last surviving member of the prosecution team, Benjamin Ferencz. Assigned to help investigate Nazi war crimes, identify those responsible and collect evidence, Ferencz retains vivid memories of the horrors of the concentration camps, and of prosecuting officers of the infamous Einsatzgruppen, paramilitary units responsible for the wholesale slaughter of ‘undesirables’ across Nazi-occupied Europe.
After the war, Ferencz dedicated his life to international justice, and his experiences led him to chilling observations about war’s ability to turn decent people into murderers.
