He was a man I wish all men could be. A kind, intelligent, thoughtful loving man who wanted to stop all war and have only love and peace in the world. What a truly wonderful world we would have if all men (especially world leaders) followed his ideals. You will never be forgotten.

Just watched Ordinary Men. Truly fascinating. What an incredible life. I only wish it had come out sooner so I could have driven up the road only a few miles and said thanks in person. RIP Ben

Benjamin was a great American. Tom Hofmann was truly honored that Benjamin trusted and approved the writing of his life story in his book Benjamin Ferencz, Nuremberg Prosecutor and Peace Advocate. A remarkable man who remained true to his belief of Peace - Not War throughout the remainder of his life. Our most sincere condolences to each member of Benjamín's family.
