    The people involved in bringing this monster to justice, I applaud and thank you.
  • Some crimes are just unforgivable. I'm proud of all today and yesterday who bring these monsters to justice. Thank You.
  • @declan92100
    He killed 30,000 and only got 5 years and then let out for ill health? what about the health of his victims
  • @andrewf0784
    Never heard of this couple before this vid, so thanks for the upload. This was an awesome story. I just wish his punishment would have been more severe. As for the Klarsfelds, they are completely badass and fearless and I have a high amount of respect for them. And I love how it was arranged for a train to transport jews in for the trial. What a powerful symbolic gesture.
  • @ssherrierable
    How do you get 5 years for 33,000 charges of murder? I need his lawyers phone number.
  • Them confronting him on the street was so reminiscent of things you’d see on YouTube today like channels that go after online predators. This is amazing

    I met Beate in 1980 (or somewhere around there) as she came to Western Washington U. to speak by invitation of the Jewish club. I did not know her history. Wish I would have. In any case, there was a gathering afterward and I spoke to her for a few minutes. What I remember was her eyes. They were like radiant steel. Serious, fearless, focused.
  • AMAZING!!! I applaude the heroism of Serge & Beate Klasfeld. Awesome presentation.
  • This was a very interesting documentary. Thanks for posting it.
  • @loriepaix6391
    I have always thought that one of the obscenities of the war was how few of the Nazis were prosecuted.
  • I love watching these documentaries they are very informative.
  • 5 yrs was not enough. After 10 yrs being imposed, he's led out of imprisonment for ill health and then retires in an old age home. On those grounds justice was not served when he escaped again.....The hangman's noose
  • Fair play to the German women realising how shameful and disgusting Germany acted under the Nazis, so she feels like she owes the world to bring down these monsters, big respect 👊🏻
  • @omarbernal2408
    3:56 This little scene right here just breaks my heart 💔 😢 those poor women and children. The horrors they were put through
  • These criminals were able to build lives why survivors were haunted. This sickens me that so many were never brought to justice.

    One day, it was in 2014, I was walking along a street in Paris with my sister. Suddenly a woman came towards me and started speaking excitedly. I told her, I don't understand French. Then she showed me her arm and I saw a number tattooed on it. I realised she was a survivor of the Holocaust. I did not know what to do, but held her as she kept on talking. It was so sad.
  • @hazeldmello5800
    Highly commend the courage and bravery of the Klarsfelds couple in this risky operation. May Almighty God bless them both.
  • my Mother had a friend who was a survivor with the numbers on her forearm, i was warned never to speak of them--it was a chilling sight
