Congratulations to Benjamin B. Ferencz, the last living Nuremberg prosecutor, who will be awarded the Congressional Gold Medal. The award is Congress’s highest honor, and was granted via a bill of bipartisan support.
Ferencz participated in the founding of our Whitney R. Harris World Law Institute in 2001 and was also awarded WashULaw’s “World Peace Through Law Award” at a special reception in his honor, which took place at the Missouri History Museum in 2015.
