French President Emmanuel Macron will on Sunday mark 80 years since Nazi forces raided a Jewish orphanage in the southeast of France and sent almost all its occupants to extermination camps .
The raid was carried out on the orders of Klaus Barbie, the notorious Nazi known as the “Butcher of Lyon”. Barbie fled to South America after the war but was extradited from Bolivia to France in 1983 and in 1987 was sentenced to life imprisonment on charges of crimes against humanity. He died in prison in 1991.
“We went to school, we had a quiet life” even if the adults knew that “it was becoming more and more dangerous”, said Bernard Waysenson, who arrived at the end of the summer of 1943 with his sister and brother. They left at the end of November of the same year to join their family.Like him, seven former residents will participate in the commemorations organised by the museum inaugurated 30 years ago.
