Barbie Trial -- Day 16 -- Two civil parties testify
Overview
- Description
- 17:15 Defense attorney Vergès asks the civil party to comment on the responsibility of Barbie of the destination of the transport; discussion regarding the fact that the train's original destination was Drancy
17:17 Prosecutor Klarsfeld comments that the eventual destination of prisoners sent to Drancy was Auschwitz anyway, so whether or not Barbie gave the order for the August 11 transport to continue directly to Auschwitz, he knew that would be the inmates' eventual destination
