Bernard Meltzer

Nuremberg prosecutor who brought direction to the charges of
crimes against humanity over the death camps
November 21, 1914 - January 4, 2007

his fellow American lawyers in 1945-46. Latterly, however,
as he became one of the last survivors of that team, he
revealed that the management of the case had also frequently
appalled him.
