#AnneFrankAward recipient Benjamin Ferencz (legacy): “There is a general recognition the world has got to change. We have to know that law is better than war. War is the supreme crime against humanity.” #HollandHill

It was my profound honor to present the #AnneFrankAward to Benjamin Ferencz (legacy), the last living prosecutor from the Nuremberg Trials & a pioneer of international law.

The VP-elect put it perfectly. Having seen Neera Tanden🌻 over the years - her brilliance, her experience on such a broad range of issues, her tenacity and integrity, Neera will be a superb OMB director.

Imam Magid and I walking through sprawling refugee camp, among those sheltering hundreds of thousands in Bangladesh. Horrifying stories of brutality; heroic stories of survival; inspiring stories of hope.
