A memorial space with numerous testimonials. The Jardin de la Mémoire features a sculpture by artist Paul-Armand Gette

During the Second World War, the region was a land of welcome and shelter for those fleeing persecution. The tour is organized around the different forms of resistance: civil, spiritual and armed. Testimonials from those involved in the rescue operation, refugees and members of the Resistance can be viewed. To the north of the buildings, a garden of memory has been created in an enclosed space that is an integral part of the site. Designed by internationally-renowned gardener and landscape architect Louis Benech, it offers a serene space for meditation.

Nous avons visité le Lieu de Mémoire du Chambon-sur-Lignon, village rural de Haute-Loire situé sur un plateau. Pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, ses habitants ont accueilli et sauvé des milliers de réfugiés, notamment de nombreux enfants juifs, profitant de leur situation en zone libre. Le Lieu de Mémoire rend hommage à ces Justes et à la résistance locale à travers un parcours riche en témoignages et expositions. Cette visite est vraiment très émouvante. Elle comprend le visionnage d'animations vidéo, ainsi que des extraits du court-métrage « Trois Justes de France », en forme de recueil de témoignages. L'exposition est bien documentée et met en lumière l'engagement exceptionnel de cette région entre 1940 et 1944.
Ce Lieu de Mémoire rappelle l'importance de ne pas oublier ces actes de courage et d'humanité, face à l'horreur de la guerre.
