The hunt for Laurent Jaoui

France, fiction, 108 mn, Elzevir Films, 2008. With the support of the Fondation pour la Mémoire de la Shoah.

Serge and Beate Klarsfeld dedicated twelve years of their lives to the hunt for Klaus Barbie. This film looks back on their first stunts in Germany up to the legal and media battles that led to his trial in France. This fiction, with Yvan Attal, Franka Potente et Hanns Zischler, owes its originality in particular to the various points of view she adopts: that of the Klarsfeld couple, of Klaus Barbie and of the Bolivians, new victims of this "exiled" barbarism.

Meeting in the presence of Serge Klarsfeld, historian, and Olivier Lalieu, responsible for the development of places of memory and external projects, Shoah Memorial.

Moderated by Charles Tenenbaum, senior lecturer in political science and member of the EEIF board.
