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.

Quel paradis pour eux d'être accueillis dans ce lieu de charme et qu'elle chance pour eux d'avoir pu échapper au camps de concentrations.
Un coin de paradis pour eux qui vivaient presque comme si la guerre n'existait plus.
Ce musée est impressionnant. Il retrace l'histoire des Juifs pendant la guerre au Chambon et dans le reste de la France, montre les divers forme de résistances qu'il y a eu au Chambon et partout en France.
Enfin, au rez-de-chaussée deux impressionnantes pièces retracent la vie des artistes et écrivains( Camus)...Juifs qui ont vécus au Chambon-Sur-Lignon pendant la guerre.
