Together, Serge and Beate Klarsfeld tracked down Klaus Barbie—the “Butcher of Lyon”—and orchestrated his extradition to France, helped clinch the convictions of former Nazis and their collaborators and documented all 76,000 Jews deported from France. The Klarsfelds stood up to those trying to bury the past.
For the first time, this heroic couple—he, a Romanian-French Jew forced to hide in a cupboard when his father was arrested and sent to Auschwitz; she, a non-Jew who grew up in wartime Berlin surrounded by Nazis—are telling their dramatic story in a new dual memoir, «Hunting the Truth,» which will be published on the day of their appearance at the Streicker Center on March 20 at 6:30pm.
The Museum is proud to partner with the Temple Emanu-El Streicker Center in welcoming this brave and committed couple for an exclusive NYC conversation. Admission includes a copy of the book.
Moderated by Sara J. Bloomfield, Director of United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.
This program will take place off-site at the Temple Emanu-El Streicker Center, One East 65th Street.
