WASHINGTON, D.C.: The last living prosecutor from the Nuremberg trials, who secured guilty verdicts from 22 Nazis and dedicated his life to fighting international injustice, has died at age 103, his son told Agence France-Presse Saturday.

Benjamin Ferencz, an American who at age 27 and with no prior trial experience served as one of the trials' chief prosecutors, would go on to later battle for compensation and the return of stolen goods to victims and survivors of the Holocaust.
