“A Child on Schindler’s List,” a half-hour special focusing on the life of Holocaust survivor Leon Leyson won the Crime and Social Issues Emmy. For a third consecutive year, Mary Harris took home the statue for Outstanding News Writer and the investigative team of Joel Grover and Matt Goldberg won their third consecutive Emmy for Best Investigative Reporting and Outstanding Hard News Reporting.
