Hotel Terminus - The Life and Times of Klaus Barbie (1988)

English hard subtitles

Klaus Barbie (born 1913 near Bonn in Germany) was an SS-officer and the commandant
of the secret Nazi police Gestapo in Lyon (German-occupied France) where he resided in
Hotel Terminus. There he and his Gestapo underlings conducted their interrogations
of detainees. Torture was applied on a regular basis (beatings, drowning, burning,
ice baths, forced watching of relatives or friends being tortured, etc.). Many
victims report that Barbie seemed to get a kick out of inflicting pain on them.

Barbie was known as the "butcher of Lyon". Hotel Terminus became a symbol of the
last stop before death and for the total loss of humanity. The film shows interviews
with Barbie's victims, class mates, neighbours, subordinates, sympathisers and business
partners.

Marcel Ophuls has gone to great lengths to arrive at a very detailed portrayal of
Klaus Barbie, contrasting statements from different interviews, also revealing some
aspects of the occupation in France during the war and Barbie's life after the war.
