Zustand: Good. This is a story of the Resistance, a portrait of a young couple whose dreams were destroyed by the Nazi occupation and a daughter's personal quest for her patrimony. Annette Kahn moves back and forth between the drama of her parents' story and testimony from the Barbie trial. In late 1943 Robert Kahn was arrested by Klaus Barbie's militia, rescued by the Resistance, and finally recaptured. From prison, he arranged for the safety of his wife and children, but Jeanne Kahn would not leave Lyon without her husband. On August 11, 1944 she was sent to Auschwitz, an experience about which she never spoke. Artikel-Nr. 00091936228

Zustand: FINE. First printing. Kahn was two years old in 1944 when her father, a Jew and a French Resistance fighter, was murdered by Nazi Klaus Barbie, the 'Butcher of Lyon.' "Forty-three years later, as chief political reporter for the magazine Le Point , she was assigned to cover Barbie's trial. Performing a balancing act between the roles of detached journalist and grief-stricken victim's daughter, Kahn skillfully interweaves courtroom drama, testimonies of Holocaust survivors, an account of Barbie's sordid career path and the wrenching story of her parents' ordeal. Her mother, sent to Auschwitz, was rescued, a near-skeleton, at the war's end. . . Kahn provides shocking detail on how U.S. intelligence bureaucrats protected Barbie after the war and how the CIA helped him escape to Bolivia in 1951."
