To Kill a Nazi is the incredible story of a Frenchman who sets out to uncover the truth about his father’s disappearance during War World II and ends up playing a crucial role in history’s most audacious hostage rescue: the Entebbe Raid.

Michel Cojot discovers his father died in Auschwitz. On the arrest paper, Michel spots Gestapo Commander Klaus Barbie’s signature. He learns Barbie escaped to Bolivia. Posing as a journalist, Michel flies to La Paz to interview Barbie. He then follows Barbie through the city. Down an alley, Michel aims his pistol. He hesitates. His decision haunts him. Soon, he gets a chance for redemption.
