Serge and Beate Klarsfeld - in Germany

In Germany

Having been twice convicted for controversial activities and active in confronting the Holocaust, Beate Klarsfeld is unpopular in Germany. She has been both vilified, considered a traitor and ignored. Not everyone agrees that the wartime events should be prosecuted in the way that Klarsfeld pursues. In addition, she has been criticized for her involvement with the East German Stasi during the years when the nation was divided, which was revealed in 2012.
