Crimes contre l'humanité le procès de Klaus Barbie - épisode 02 | Documentaire complet

For several weeks, the court, the public, and the press heard the powerful and dignified testimonies of all those, Jewish or members of the Resistance, who had fallen into the hands of "the Butcher of Lyon." Tortured and then deported, they came to put words for the first time to their ordeal, implicitly painting a portrait of their torturer and the barbarity of the ideology he zealously served. The study of the first two indictments, the roundup on Rue Sainte-Catherine and then the roundup of the children of Izieu, established Barbie's responsibility and guilt. For, as in all trials, testimony and material evidence were central to the prosecution's case.
