A documentary feature by award-winning filmmaker Boaz Dvir, “To Kill a Nazi” tells the incredible story of a French businessman who sets out to uncover the truth about his father’s disappearance during the Second World War and ends up playing a crucial role in the rescue at Entebbe, history’s most audacious hostage rescue. Michel Cojot discovers the Nazis murdered his father, Joseph Goldberg, in Auschwitz. On Joseph’s arrest paper, Michel spots Klaus Barbie’s signature. He learns Barbie works for the Bolivian government. Posing as a journalist, Michel flies to La Paz to interview Barbie. The next day, Michel follows Barbie through the city’s winding streets. Barbie stops to light a cigarette. Michel aims his pistol. Fearing he’d stoop to Barbie’s level by firing, Michel hesitates. His decision haunts him. Soon, however, he gets a once-in-a-lifetime chance to redeem himself. Months after tracking Barbie, Cojot and his young son, Olivier, were among the hostages on Air France Flight 139, which was hijacked by terrorists in July 1976 and diverted to Entebbe, Uganda. During the daring Israeli rescue mission (Operation Thunderbolt), Cojot played an improbable and courageous role, helping to communicate with the commandos and ensuring the protection of the hostages.
