Benjamin Ferencz in 2012, in the courtroom where the Nuremberg trials were held. (Adam Jones, Ph.D.)
Benjamin Ferencz just turned 101 years old. The last surviving Nuremberg prosecutor was born in Transylvania’s Carpathian Mountains in 1920. Ferencz emigrated to America with his family as a baby to escape anti-Semitism and grew up in a small basement apartment in Manhattan. He graduated from Harvard Law School on a scholarship, served in Europe with the U.S. Army during World War II, and became one of America’s liberators of Buchenwald, Mauthausen, and Dachau concentration camps.

Educators have a unique opportunity to have an impact on students at an early age. Auschwitz is the worldâs largest cemetery. There are no gravestones, just remnants of the gas chambers. There is the entrance gate and buildings housing haunted memories of torture and death.
