A new video features Benjamin Ferencz, the last living Nuremberg prosecutor, discussing his life and role in the famous trials.

At age 27, in his first turn as a prosecutor, Mr Ferencz led what was then called “the biggest murder trial in history.”

On behalf of the US government, he won guilty verdicts against 22 Nazi leaders that murdered over a million Jews in mass shooting operations.

The Nuremberg Trials, which began 75 years ago this month, aimed to achieve a measure of justice for the Holocaust and war crimes.

Mr Ferencz, now 100, has devoted his life to pursuing peace, demanding justice for victims, and preventing genocide. Learn Ben’s inspiring story and why his motto is: “Never give up.”
