When you arrive, a striking setting awaits you.
At the end of the road, you can see the house with the blue shutters, where Sabine and Miron Zlatin took in over a hundred Jewish children to save them from anti-Semitic persecution. It was in this same house that, on the morning of 6 April 1944, on the orders of Klaus Barbie, one of the heads of the Gestapo in Lyon, 44 children and 7 of their teachers were rounded up and deported. Only one of the instructors, Léa Feldblum, returned.
