Book Talk: Nuremberg’s Citizen Prosecutor – Benjamin Ferencz and the Birth of International Justice
May 20 @ 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm
Gregory Gordon
OZ Member and Board Vice President Mike Kanarick invites you to a Book Talk with his long-time friend, author Gregory Gordon, a former war crimes prosecutor and the first scholar with full access to Ferencz’s personal papers and Ferencz himself until his death in 2023 at the age of 103. Gordon has produced an expansive, page-turning biography that uncovers incredible, and previously unknown, details about Ferencz’s remarkable life as one of the 20th century’s great warriors for justice, from Nuremberg to the first trial of the International Criminal Court. Before his death, Ferencz stated about Gordon’s book that it demonstrates “how persons of humble origins, such as myself, can work hard, dedicate themselves to higher causes, and make an important difference.”
Book Talk will take place in the Main Sanctuary. Refreshments will be provided.
