This world has lost another great soul: the youngest prosecutor at the (subsequent) Nuremberg trials - someone who also was an outstanding human being: Benjamin Ferencz.
I'm not going to try to précis the better informed and more eloquent words of others here, but I will provide some links:

- https://benferencz.org/ - at which articles and manuscripts can be accessed (I’ve downloaded a few);
- “Parting Words: An extraordinary 100-year-old man’s 9 lessons for living a life to be proud of” - Pub. Sphere, 2020, ISBN 978-0-7515-7990-1, Amazon;

This man played an ongoing role in the development of international legal accountability for wrongdoing. Rest in Honour.

Finally, remember: we need to be more human being rather than human doing.
