Benjamin Berell Ferencz (March 11, 1920 – April 7, 2023)

BOYNTON BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Ben Ferencz, the last living
prosecutor from the Nuremberg trials, who tried Nazis for
genocidal war crimes and was among the first outside
witnesses to document the atrocities of Nazi labor and
concentration camps, has died. He had just turned 103
in March.

Ferencz died Friday evening in Boynton Beach, Florida,
according to St. John’s University law professor John
Barrett, who runs a blog about the Nuremberg trials. The
death also was confirmed by the U.S. Holocaust Museum
in Washington.

"Today the world lost a leader in the quest for justice for
victims of genocide and related crimes," the museum
tweeted.

July 10, 1925: In Dayton, Tennessee, the so-called Scopes Monkey
Trial
began with John Thomas Scopes, a young high school
science teacher, accused of teaching
evolution in violation of
a Tennessee state law.

The law, which had been passed in March, made it a misdemeanor punishable by fine to “teach any theory that denies the story of
the Divine Creation of man as taught in the Bible, and to teach
instead that man has descended from a lower order of animals.”
