Nazi hunters' first show opens at a French memorial

PARIS - Their heroic quest to bring down fugitive Nazis such as the "butcher of Lyon" is widely known. But there's a lot more to the steely, yet unassuming, married duo of Nazi hunters Beate and Serge Klarsfeld, and a new exhibition in Paris is looking to tell that tale.

The French capital's Shoah Memorial is hosting the world's first-ever exhibition into their story. Using personal archives, including previously unseen video, Beate and Serge Klarsfeld, Fighters for Memory seeks to explain the couple's fight to a new generation. It runs through April 29.

The aim of the exhibition, say the organizers, is to show how Beate, 78, and Serge, 82, did much more than hunt Nazis, as is often portrayed in the media and in a 1986 film starring the late Farrah Fawcett. Notably, the devoted husband-and-wife team, married since 1963, played a pivotal role in understanding the horrors of the Final Solution in occupied France.
