The journalist that slapped one of these nazis in power in 1968 has my respect
You probably mean Beate Klarsfeld. The Nazi she slapped was then-chancellor of West Germany Kurt Georg Kiesinger. Her work also helped bring several high-ranking Nazis and war criminals to justice, Klaus Barbie being one of the more well-known ones.
Yes! Thank you sharing her name and the link :)
