Liar Revealed: When Klaus and Alva learn that Jesper only set up the toy delivery system to meet his six thousand letter quota so his father would let him return home, they are understandably furious with him. He only redeems himself in their eyes when he chooses to stay and tries to stop the Krums and Ellingboes from destroying their Christmas morning toy shipment. Ahead of the trial, I interviewed Simone Lagrange, who was tortured by Barbie at the age of 13. “I have six million dead behind me,” she said simply. The man they call the Butcher of Lyon has already been condemned to death twice for his war crimes. Both of these sentences lapsed as Barbie was living under an assumed name in Bolivia.

Hidden Depths: Even for a feuding town, the residents of Smeerensburg have talents besides being mean and spiteful to one another. Some of them have at least one notable talent, ranging from carpentry to baking to playing good music. They become more apparent as the children do more good deeds. Babies Ever After: Jesper and Alva end up married with two children, although the kids' young ages and Jesper's greying hair in the finale suggest they didn't settle down right away. Handshake Refusal: When Jesper tries to properly introduce himself to Klaus the day after their initial encounter, he reaches out with his hand but Klaus refuses to shake it and instead breaks a wooden log with his bare hands which makes Jesper produce a Loud Gulp. In a long list of unspeakable acts, Barbie’s operation in April 1944 against a group of children stands out. In the remote locale of Izieu, France, Barbie, never known for moral scruples or mercy, crossed a final threshold of criminality.By the time the French government requested extradition of Barbie from American officials in 1949, it was public knowledge that Barbie was living freely in the American zone under a false identity. As the French demands for extradition escalated, the CIC decided it was too risky to continue using Barbie as an informant. However, the CIC was not willing to hand Barbie to the French, fearing that Barbie knew too much about CIC intelligence operations. In 1951, the CIC helped Barbie escape to South America with his family via the American “Rat Line” that smuggled escaped Nazis and other Axis fugitives out of postwar Europe. Life and Recognition in South America All (or at least most) of Smeerensburg also become kinder, thanks to Jesper's actions. Best demonstrated by the Ellingboe children harvesting the berries for a Krum woman (instead of stealing them). Angry about being indebted to an Ellingboe, she makes jam and gives it to the children's mother, who retaliates by making her a pie, at which point the two become friendly and are the first adults to put aside the feud. Pumpkin Ellingboe, Mr. Ellingboe's pampered and imposing daughter whose only word is "mine", except when she says "Right" when Mr. Aksel Ellingboe plots to have Jesper and Klaus eliminated.

Earlier than that, the rope for the town square's "battle bell" is tied into what appears to actually be a noose. Teetering on the Edge: The climactic Chase Scene ends with Jesper stopping the runaway sled right over a drop. The presents fall off thanks to Mrs. Krum, but The Reveal shows they were fakes after all.The ax-crazy Krum father takes a shot at Jesper but Klaus, coming out of nowhere, pulls the latter out of the bullet's way. Mr Lucien Favet, who was close to the Izieu home at the time of the raid, heard the children singing a patriotic French song as they were driven away. He also identified Barbie, but some of his evidence was challenged by the defence lawyer Mr Jacques Verges. Despite global outcry, Barbie was able to return to Bolivia, where the government refused to extradite him, stating that France and Bolivia did not have an extradition treaty and that the statute of limitations on his crimes had expired. [ citation needed] Barbie's close fascist friends knew who he was, but to the public Barbie insisted he was none other than his innocent alter-ego "Altmann";in the videotaped interview conducted by Ladislas de Hoyos, which he allowed, he continued to lie about never having been in Lyon, never knowing Jean Moulin or having been in the Gestapo. However, in the 1970s, the community of refugee Jews who had survived or escaped the war, openly discussed the fact that Barbie was the war criminal from Lyon now living on the Calle Landaeta in La Paz and frequenting the Café de La Paz daily.

Plot-Mandated Friendship Failure: Once Mrs. Krum and Mr. Ellingboe out Jesper and his selfish intentions before his friends, Alva is furious and sees his kindness as one big lie. And Klaus?

He had been pre-assigned to Adolf Eichmann's Amt (Department) IV/B-4. This department was responsible for identification, roundup and deportation of Dutch Communists, Jews and Freemasons. On 11 October 1940, Barbie arrested Hermannus van Tongeren [ nl], Grand Master of the Grand Orient of the Netherlands. In March 1941, van Tongeren was transported to Sachsenhausen concentration camp where, in freezing conditions, he died two weeks later.
