The Klaus Barbie trial in 1987 opens a new stage in the construction of the memory of the Second World War and the Shoah. The testimonies concerning the arrest on 6 April 1944, then the deportation of 44 Jewish children from the colony of Izieu in the department of 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.
