“I admire you, but in the end everybody talks.”
To Lise Lesevre during interrogation, from the Saturday, March 23, 1987 issue of "The Philadelphia Inquirer"
Klaus Barbie bol nemecký nacistický dôstojník, príslušník Waffen-SS, veliteľ nacistickej polície Gestapa v Nemcami okupovanom francúzskom meste Lyon počas druhej svetovej vojny a vojnový zločinec.
Kvôli svojej brutalite si vyslúžil prezývku Mäsiar z Lyonu. Brutálnym spôsobom mučil väzňov, týral miestne obyvateľstvo, bol zodpovedný za smrť 4.000 ľudí a za deportáciu židovských detí do koncentračného tábora Auschwitz.
Po druhej svetovej vojne ušiel najprv do Argentíny, neskôr do Bolívie, ktorá ho až roku 1983 vydala do Francúzska, kde bol odsúdený na doživotie.
