Gallery to Show Barbie Trial Art

The Platt Art Gallery of the University of Judaism will display more than 40 courtroom sketches made during the trial of Nazi war criminal Klaus Barbie.

David Rose, a courtroom artist and reporter, produced the sketches during the trial of the so-called “Butcher of Lyon” in France. A former Gestapo chief, Barbie was found guilty in 1987 of crimes against humanity, including the torture and murder of hundreds of Holocaust victims during World War II.

A native of Boston, Rose is known for his sketches of the Pentagon Papers trial; he is also a painter and printmaker.

Rose will be at the opening reception and lecture Sunday from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m.

The gallery is on the campus at 15600 Mulholland Drive, Bel-Air . The gallery is open Monday through Thursday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Friday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Sunday by appointment.
