“Prosecuting Evil: The Extraordinary World of Ben Ferencz,” a documentary bio about Nuremberg Trials prosecutor who succeeded in getting convictions for 22 Nazi officials, will be released on March 1 in Los Angeles.
Ferencz, a Hungarian-born Jew, was the chief prosecutor of the Einsatzgruppen case, in which the defendants were convicted of murdering over 1 million people. He subsequently advocated for Jewish Holocaust victims and was involved in establishing the International Criminal Court.
Directed and produced by Barry Avrich (“The Last Mogul”), the film includes interviews with Alan Dershowitz, General Wesley Clark and David Scheffer, former United States ambassador-at-large for War Crimes Issues.
