Benjamin Ferencz  Benjamin FerenczBenjamin Berell Ferencz (March 11, 1920 – April 7, 2023), born in Nagysomkút, Romania (Transylvania), was an attorney, professor of law, and US Army veteran. He was an investigator of Nazi war crimes after World War Ⅱ and the chief prosecutor for the United States Army at the Einsatzgruppen trial, one of the 12 subsequent Nuremberg trials held by US authorities at Nuremberg, Germany. When the Einsatzgruppen reports were discovered, Ferencz pushed for a trial based on their evidence. When confronted with a lack of staff and resources, he personally volunteered to serve as the prosecutor. Later he became an advocate of international rule of law and for the establishment of an International Criminal Court. From 1985 to 1996, he was an adjunct professor of international law at Pace University.
