As a child, Theodor Meron was deeply affected by WWII as a Polish refugee who survived ghettos and a forced labor camp before the Nazis were defeated. He lost almost all of his family members who were killed by the Nazi’s because they were Jews. His experience with atrocities of war inspired him to become a scholar in International Law, and he eventually became a judge in the international criminal court system.
