RIP Ben Ferencz
Last of the Nuremberg prosecutors. He made it to 103. Too bad most of what he accomplished has been tossed by the wayside, even during his lifetime :-( |

Yep, New York Times obituary link below.
Benjamin B. Ferencz, Last Surviving Nuremberg Prosecutor, Dies at 103 Benjamin B. Ferencz, the last surviving prosecutor of the Nuremberg trials, who convicted Nazi war criminals of organizing the murder of a million people and German industrialists of using slave labor from concentration camps to build Hitler’s war machine, died on Friday at an assisted living facility in Boynton Beach, Fla. He was 103. And there's much more info in the article. Alex "There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge." -- Isaac Asimov |
