Germany has awarded medals of honor to a French couple who spent decades bringing Nazi war criminals to justice — sometimes by unconventional means.
Jewish lawyer Serge Klarsfeld and his German-born wife Beate received the Order of Merit at the German embassy in Paris on Monday.
The couple spent decades hunting down Nazis who had gone into hiding after World War II, including Klaus Barbie. The Klarsfelds' work often embarrassed governments that had failed to apprehend former Nazis and, in Germany's case, allowed them to rise to high office.
