The Swiss Maternity Hospital in Elne, a symbol of hope in the midst of horror, a poignant museum to visit.

If ever there was a place of remembrance in the département, a symbol of hope, this is it. Here, between 1939 and 1944, a courageous young Swiss woman, Elisabeth Eidenbenz, enabled Spanish, Jewish and Gypsy women to give birth with dignity to almost 600 children. A life-saving stopover during a period when the word "humanism" no longer had any meaning. Today, the Swiss Maternity Hospital in Elne is a fascinating museum where you can delve into an obscure part of our past.

Entrée gratuite, un don est le bienvenu car beaucoup de travaux à faire pour pouvoir un jour visiter ce lieu entièrement...

Imprescindible visita, tot i que actualment està només oberta la planta baixa amb accés a un audiovisual. Tot i això em resulta impossible puntuar amb menys de 5 estrelles.

Esta totalmente para reformar. No pudimos visitar-la por dentro ya que necesitan recaudacion para restauració. És una lástima però el edificis es precioso y la història de Elna maravillosa.

Una visita interesante que refleja las dificultades que pasaron las mujeres que tuvieron la desgracia de vivir una guerra y la vez sus hijos de corta edad. Si esta exposiciones nos sirvieran para que no volvieran ha suceder nada parecido. Pero visto lo visto no aprendemos ...
