Klaus Barbie
Klaus Barbie was a Nazi officer and head of the Gestapo in Lyon during World War II, notorious for his brutal repression of resistance activities and the deportation of Jews. His trial in France in the late 1980s marked a significant moment in the country's reckoning with its wartime past, as it was one of the first instances of a French court prosecuting a collaborator for crimes against humanity.
