Sag immer Deine Wahrheit

Benjamin Ferencz looks back on 100 years of a remarkable life. He has worked tirelessly for a just and peaceful world. This goal, which he pursued with never-ceasing commitment as Chief Prosecutor at the Nuremberg Trials until the founding of the International Criminal Court, still keeps him going today. The son of poor migrants in the USA, as a US soldier in World War II and an investigator in defeated Nazi Germany, he witnessed the unspeakable things that people are capable of doing to each other. Yet he never lost faith in man's capacity for good. His optimism and perspicacity, his gratitude and humility in looking back on a fulfilled life, his deep conviction that he was doing the right thing in the fight for a humane world, his energy and humour: Ben Ferencz has much to share in this deeply personal autobiography.
