The Second World War came to an end in 1945, but the fight against Nazism didn't stop there.
Many Nazi war criminals managed to escape justice by fleeing to South America, the Middle East or other parts of the world, thanks to clandestine networks called ratlines.
But they were not immune from the pursuit of those who wanted to make them pay for their atrocities.
Among these Nazi hunters were Simon Wiesenthal and Serge and Beate Klarsfeld, who devoted their lives to tracking down and exposing former Nazis, with the help of the Israeli secret service Mossad. In this video, we tell the story of these men and women who pursued Nazis to the ends of the earth, in the name of memory and justice.

The Nuremberg Trial: a historic trial to judge the crimes of Nazism
The Nuremberg Trial is one of the most significant events in the history of the 20th century. It was the first international trial to bring to justice those most responsible for the Nazi regime, accused of crimes against peace, war crimes and crimes against humanity.
It took place from November 20, 1945 to October 1, 1946 at the Nuremberg courthouse in Germany, and resulted in the death sentences of 12 defendants, prison sentences for 7 and acquittals for 3.
It also introduced, for the first time, the notion of crimes against humanity into the law.
