Hide Profile

Joseph M. Stone was born March 5, 1917. Before entering his career in law, politics, and labor relations, Stone graduated from The City College of New York and then from the Brooklyn Law School. He and his wife Estelle raised three children: Judith, Diana and Douglas. Stone began his career in the Labor Department of the US government. However, in 1947 his service was interrupted as he was called upon to participate in the Nuremberg trials. Stone joined a team of lawyers under the leadership of Telford Taylor, and was one of the prosecutors of the Flick Case. This case was the fifth of a second-wave of twelve Nuremberg hearings. Friedrich Flick was a wealthy industrialist who was one of six defendants in this case charged with using slave labor, the deportation for labor of civilians of German-occupied territories, and the use of POWs for war operations. The defendants were additionally charged with participating in the plunder of public and private property, spoliation, and offenses against property which came under German occupation. While his co-defendants were only found guilty on a few of the charges brought against them, Flick was found guilty on three out of the five, receiving a seven-year sentence. After Nuremberg, Stone returned to the Labor Department until he decided to go into private practice focusing on labor law. Eventually he became a labor arbitrator and he helped found the National Association of Utility Contractors. Stone died on May 6, 1996.
