The House has passed a bill that seeks to award the Congressional Gold Medal to Benjamin Berell Ferencz, an Army veteran who served as chief U.S. prosecutor at the Nuremberg war crimes trials following World War II, The Hill reports. The legislation passed through the lower chamber by voice vote.

Ferencz, who is 102, fought in the U.S. Army during World War II for roughly two years before being honorably discharged with the rank of sergeant at the end of 1945. At one point during his service he was transferred to a War Crimes Branch of the Army and tasked with collecting evidence of war crimes that could be used to prosecute those responsible in court.

The U.S. then enlisted Ferencz in 1946 to work on the Nuremberg tribunals, the independent court that put Nazi officials on trial for crimes that were carried out during the war — including those related to the Holocaust.

Ferencz managed a group of 50 researchers looking into official Nazi records which, according to the bill, “provided overwhelming evidence to implicate German doctors, lawyers, judges, generals, industrialists, and others in genocide.”

Ferencz, who was 27 at the time, was chosen to serve as the chief prosecutor in the Einsatzgruppen Trial, which focused on individuals accused of conducting mass shootings against hundreds of thousands of people during Nazi Germany’s offensive against the Soviet Union, including Jews and Communists, according to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum.

  1. Who’ll get the Gold Medal Award at the Nuremberg Trials involving the WHO, the CDC, the doctors and nurses giving the injections, the governments forcing the injections, the scientist lying about the safety of the injections, the police and the media?
