Klaus Barbie was known as the butcher of Lyon.
Here in Cluny my hairdresser is on the rue 4eme Battaillon du Choc.
It was the name given the the battalion formed after the D Day landings from the Free French Army and the local Resistance.
We have a memorial for all the Jewish people who were sent to the camps.
What eventually happened to Barbie Jane? I met a chap in Bordeaux in '90ish, I think he was an ex diplomat, pretty ‘clued up’ anyway.
He said, "The Barbie ‘thing’ will disappear, too many high ranking politicians ‘contaminated’, as far as I know, he was right!
Mary Berry… a secret drummer… at 83… 
Be interested if you know the outcome of the ‘Barbie’ saga Jane
According to Wikipedia, the Americans helped him escape to Bolivia, he was then extradited to France, tried and imprisoned and he then died of cancer (leukaemia).
Thanks Jane, I think there was, some ‘odd’ political involvement, at the time

Would love to be the age of my swapped numbers again 
Ha!! I wouldn’t. It would make me 94

This is so sad. She’s an incredible singer. This performance is mesmerising.
The blond woman is Carole King who wrote the song.
