klaus-barbie-proces-exposition-990x990The Klaus Barbie trial in 1987 opens a new stage in the construction of the memory of the Second World War and the Shoah. The testimony regarding the arrest on 6 April 1944, and then the deportation of 44 Jewish children from the settlement of Izieu in the Ain with five adults constitute a highlight of the trial.

Four witnesses recount their involvement in the preparation of the trial and their appearance at the hearing.

In the presence of witnesses Alexandre Halaunbrenner, Paul Niedermann, Samuel Pintel, and Adolphe Waysenson. Hosted by Perrine Kervran, journalist at France Culture.

Hosted by Pierre-Jérôme Biscarat, historian, and Dominique Missika, curator of the exhibition.
