Over the weekend, I got to see a very good movie quite by chance. It was titled 'The Beate Klarsfeld Story'. This is a true story of a German (non-Jewish) woman who worked really hard to track down Nazi war criminals like Klause Barbie. One can imagine how difficult it must be to hunt down these leaders who, more often than not, were protected by their sympathizers and hired thugs. What made it more perilous is that Beate did this despite being kidnapped, tortured and almost assassinated - not to mention risking her immediate family's safety.

Kudos to the Klarsfelds for ridding the world of these criminals!
