Prosecuting Evil: The Extraordinary World of Ben Ferencz

Canada 2018 | 82 minutes | English | Hebrew subtitles

Prosecuting Evil tells the fascinating story of Ben Ferencz — the last surviving Nuremberg prosecutor and lifelong advocate of “law not war.” After witnessing the Nazi horrors, Ferencz became lead prosecutor in the Einsatzgruppen case at Nuremberg, which has been called the biggest murder trial in history. All 22 Nazi officials tried for murdering over a million people were convicted. Ferencz went on to advocate for restitution for Jewish victims of the Holocaust and later for the establishment of the International Criminal Court. His fight for justice continues to this day.
