Nazi hunters’ memoir wins top Jewish book award
Serge and Beate Klarsfeld scoop prize for their work 'Hunting the Truth', detailing first hand accounts of 50-years of Nazi hunting
Serge and Beate Klarsfeld, two prominent French Nazi hunters, won the Jewish Book Council’s top national book award on Wednesday.
“Hunting the Truth: Memoirs of Serge and Beate Klarsfeld” includes first person accounts of the couple’s 50-plus years of pursuing Nazi war criminals. The Jewish Book Council noted that the Klarsfelds were hesitant at first to work on an autobiography, saying they lacked “talent for storytelling,” but were pleased with the final product.
