Mr Ferencz is a living monument to both what is good and evil in humankind. The world will be a poorer place when he is gone.

And some people are already forgetting the warning of history, what happens when you let certain classes of ideology to power. Ferencz colleague, Robert Jackson, said it best in his opening address:
“The wrongs which we seek to condemn and punish have been so calculated, so malignant and so devastating, that civilization cannot tolerate their being ignored because it cannot survive their being repeated”

Here is my problem with Ferencz.

Ferencz has shared his stories for seven decades. “I saw the inmates beat up a guy they captured and burn him alive,” Ferencz says of a German guard. “Slowly. I saw it.”

He stops. His eyes pool with tears and a linen handkerchief emerges from his pinstriped pocket.

“Excuse me,” he says, “but I still see it. Could I have probably stopped it? No. Did I try? No. Should I have tried? No. You try being there.”

Burning people alive is not justice.
