Among other atrocities, Barbie personally tortured and executed many of his prisoners. In 1943, he captured Jean Moulin, the leader of the French Resistance, and had him slowly beaten to death.

Of the 51, only one teacher survived. In August 1944, as the Germans prepared to retreat from Lyon, he organized one last deportation train that took hundreds of people to the death camps.In April 1939, Barbie became engaged to Regina Margaretta Willms, the 23-year-old daughter of a postal clerk; they had two children, a son named Klaus-Georg Altmann and a daughter named Ute Messner.

Even King Charles VI was reportedly a connoisseur of the butcher’s meat pies and pâtés. Despite showing early signs of mental illness and criminal behavior, Petiot served in the First World War, graduated from an accelerated medical program, and began a dubious medical career that included performing abortions and supplying narcotics. His political career was marked by scandal, theft, and corruption. During the Second World War, Petiot operated a fraudulent escape network, offering safe passage to those wanted by the Germans for a fee, only to murder them, steal their valuables, and dispose of their bodies. In total, he was suspected of around 60 murders, but only the remains of 23 victims were found in the basement of his Paris home. Captured in 1944, Petiot claimed to be a Resistance hero who only killed enemies of France. He was convicted of 26 counts of murder and was executed by guillotine in 1946. His life and heinous crimes have been depicted in film and comic books. a b Bönisch, Georg; Wiegrefe, Klaus (20 January 2011).

Archived from the original (PDF) on 5 October 2011.The Butcher of Paris leaves me with unanswered questions about the case and characters, but this is wonderful because it revealed a rabbit hole for me; when it comes to nonfiction, one should never assume that one author, one thin volume, is going to catch all the nuance and complexities of a case or an epoch in history. That's lazy reading. Stephanie Phillips was striving to show the theme of complicity than selling comics w/sensationalism.

When the newspaper Resistance published an article about Petiot, his defense attorney from the 1942 narcotics case received a letter in which his fugitive client claimed that the published allegations were mere lies. This gave police a hint that Petiot was still in Paris. The search began anew – with "Henri Valeri" among those who were drafted to find him. Finally, on 31 October, Petiot was recognized at a Paris Métro station, and arrested. Among his possessions were a pistol, 31,700 francs, and 50 sets of identity documents.

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.
