When Benjamin Ferencz was 27 years old, he prosecuted his very first trial. It’s been called the largest murder trial in history, with more than one million victims. There were 22 defendants, each of them high-ranking members of Nazi Germany’s death squad.

Benjamin Ferencz died last Friday, April 7, at the age of 103. He was the last surviving prosecutor from the Nuremberg trials. Today, we’re sharing our conversation from 2018.
