Join us for a screening of Foeke de Koe’s The Barbie Tapes, a documentary about the secretive 1979 journey of Gerd Heidemann, a German undercover journalist, and Karl Wolff, the highest-ranking SS officer still alive, to seek out Klaus Barbie, the former Gestapo official known as the ‘Butcher of Lyon’.The tapes are intimate, unsettling and unique: a high-ranking perpetrator of some of the worst Nazi crimes speaking in freedom, outside courtrooms, without pressure or interrogation. What comes alive in the tapes is a hidden postwar world that still echoes into the present. The Barbie Tapes is a searing exploration of the inner lives of extremists.
The film will be followed by a discussion and audience Q&A led by:
Foeke de Koe- an award-winning Dutch documentary filmmaker and
Thomas Weber - Professor of History and International Affairs at the University of Aberdeen and a Visiting Fellow of the Hoover Institution.
