Liane Krochmal
7
Liane was only a baby when Austria lost its independence and became part of Nazi Germany. Seeing no hope under the Nazis, the Krochmals decided to move to France. They hoped to receive permission to go to the US, but they were not allowed. Soon after her parents and her 11 yrs old brother were arrested by French police and were taken to Germany. They died in Poland. Liane, who was five, and her seven year-old sister Renate, were sent to live in the children's home at Izieu.
The German officer who ordered the despicable raid on the children's home was Klaus Barbie. Barbie escaped punishment after the war by agreeing to work as a spy for the United States, and it was only many years later that the scandal was uncovered. Barbie was eventually sent back to France for trial, where on July 4, 1987, he was convicted of "crimes against humanity" and sentenced to life in prison.
