Hunting the Truth: Memoirs of Beate and Serge Klarsfeld

Product Information

A riveting record . . . Anti-semitic hatred, in Sartre's formulation, "is first of all a passion." By presenting their many years of struggle for a "great, just cause," the Klarsfelds' memoir affirms a far higher and more enduring passion." --Peter E. Kornblub, Jewish Book Council I'm really liking this series! The bond and relationship between Maya and Juniper is wonderful and really funny and entertaining at times too. I want to thank NetGalley and Carina Press for sending me this eARC in exchange for my honest review.

As soon as I turned twenty-one—on February 13, 1960—I had only one idea in mind: to leave this city, despite the deep if inexplicable attachment I felt for it. I often traveled into East Berlin, particularly on Sundays, and for me the city did not end at the Brandenburg Gate; it continued on through Unter den Linden, which belonged to me just as much as the Tiergarten did. Politics and history did not enter my mind, only an indefinable feeling that, in spite of appearances to the contrary, Berlin was one city, not two. Hunt the Truth Season 1 started on March 22, 2015, and finished on June 14. It details the journey Benjamin Giraud did to discover the truth on the Master Chief.Benjamin Giraud gives a brief history of himself and states that he has been tasked with creating an in-depth profile about the Master Chief. A riveting record . . . Anti-semitic hatred, in Sartre’s formulation, “is first of all a passion.” By presenting their many years of struggle for a “great, just cause,” the Klarsfelds’ memoir affirms a far higher and more enduring passion." --Peter E. Kornblub, Jewish Book Council For those who believe that childhood impressions are a critical factor in decisions made later in life, I should point out that the Soviet Mongols never hurt or sexually abused us.

The whistleblowing bankers who were sent to jail

When I reached the age of ingratitude, at about fourteen, my parents grew closer again, and I became the object of their disapproval. They had neither learned nor forgotten anything from the epochal events they had sleepwalked through. They weren’t Nazis, but they had voted for Hitler like everyone else, and they did not feel any responsibility for what had occurred under Nazism. When my mother and her neighbors chatted, they always ended up whining about the injustice of what had happened to them, waxing nostalgic over beloved objects they had lost amid the turmoil. There was never a word of pity or compassion for the people of other countries—least of all the Russians, whom they criticized bitterly. Maya seems to get right in the middle of every situation. There's an ex-cop who knew her mom. There's two Montana cops here to chase the ex-cop who they say is dirty and wanted for murder. There are witnesses who end up dead, along with other dangerous situations. In the end, Maya and Josh figure out all the cases. They have been jailed and targeted by letter bombs, and their car was even blown up. Yet nothing has daunted the Klarsfelds in their pursuit of justice. Beate made worldwide headlines at age twenty-nine by slapping the high-profile ex-Nazi propagandist Chancellor Kurt Georg Kiesinger and shouting "Nazi!" Serge intentionally provoked a neo-Nazi in a German beer hall by wearing an armband with a yellow star on it, so that the press would report on the assault. When Pope John Paul II met with Austria's then-president, Kurt Waldheim, a former Wehrmacht officer in the Balkans suspected of war crimes, the Klarsfelds' son, dressed as a Nazi officer, stood outside the Vatican. The Klarsfelds also dedicated themselves to defeating Jean-Marie Le Pen's National Front and his daughter Marine Le Pen's 2017 campaign for president in France. In meinem Aufwachsen spukten in Bezug auf Beate Klarsfeld nur die Kiesinger Ohrfeige und die Nominierung zur deutschen Bundespräsidentin, die meine kleinstädtische Familie eher abweisend kommentierte, herum. Mit dem Studium kam eine vage Ahnung ihres politischen Engagement für die Verhaftung von Naziverbrechern in Südamerika und Anerkennung für die Leistungen von Serge Klarsfeld als Historiker hinzu. That said, the danger continues to surround her as she gets closer to finding out who is responsible for the murders and attempts to her life.
