Overview
On May 11, 1987, the trial of Klaus Barbie, former head of the Gestapo, and the first Nazi officer tried in France for crimes against humanity, opened in Lyon. Tracked and confused by Beate and Serge Klarsfeld, he is extradited from Bolivia thanks to agreements between governments. The accusation relates to three major crimes: the raids on Rue Sainte-Catherine, the roundup of the Izieu children and the last convoy of deportees on August 11, 1944. During 37 hearings, filmed in full, the testimonies of the survivors revealed a relentless and cruel torturer. Barbie, absent on the advice of his lawyer Jacques Vergès, was sentenced on July 4, 1987 to life imprisonment. This verdict marks a key step against the impunity of Nazi criminals. Barbie died in 1991.
