Last surviving Nuremberg prosecutor, Ben Ferencz, dies at 103.
Ben Ferencz, the last surviving prosecutor from the Nuremberg trials, has died at the age of 103. Ferencz was instrumental in trying Nazis for genocidal war crimes and was among the first outside witnesses to document the atrocities of Nazi labor and concentration camps. He later championed the creation of an international court to prosecute any government's leaders for war crimes, which was realized in 2002 with the establishment of the International Criminal Court in The Hague. Ferencz is survived by a son and three daughters.
