Centre d'histoire de la résistance et de la déportation


The Centre d'histoire de la résistance et de la déportation is a museum in Lyon, France. Located on the former site of a French military health school and opened in 1992, it chronicles the French Resistance as well as Jewish deportation in World War II.
The school was occupied by the Germans in the spring of 1943, and used by Lyon's Gestapo chief, Klaus Barbie, to torture resistance members, including Jean Moulin. It was destroyed by allied aircraft on May 26, 1944. The museum itself was inaugurated on October 15, 1992.
