Prosecuting Evil

The Extraordinary World of Ben Ferencz

A gripping and inspiring profile of the last surviving lead prosecutor at the Nuremberg trials and lifelong fighter for justice.  At 27, Ferencz was the youngest Nuremberg prosecutor and secured conviction for all 22 Nazis he tried. At 98, passionate, engaging and inspiring, Ferencz shares fascinating back stories from his lifelong struggle for “law not war.”  Contains graphic Holocaust images.

Film will be followed by a discussion led by lawyer and OLLI instructor Matthew Goldfarb.
