“If you only listen to one episode, it must be the interview with Benjamin Ferencz. He was the chief prosecutor of 22 men responsible for ordering the murders of 1 million people in concentration camps in WWII. But for his perseverance, these men wouldn’t have been prosecuted. The department prosecuting war crimes had run out of funds. Ferencz visited 10 of the concentration camps and saw firsthand what the victims suffered. So funds or no funds, he added the work to his own team’s and gathered all the evidence. The relevance to both the past and present can’t be ignored. We have to remember that people who are different from us—who have different beliefs or religions or customs or sexuality or race—all live in this world. Just because someone is different doesn’t make them an enemy.”
