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

During the Second World War, Le Chambon-sur-Lignon and the surrounding villages were a land of welcome and shelter for those fleeing persecution. Among the refugees, there were many Jews, as shown by the commemorative plaque in the heart of the village. A permanent exhibition recounts the history of the Plateau during the Second World War, while a memorial area includes numerous testimonies. 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.

Aujourd'hui où il est important que l'on n'oublie pas les périodes noires du passé, ce site est bien un lieu de mémoire qui relate parfaitement l'histoire des "justes" qui ont sauvé de nombreux juifs pendant la deuxième guerre mondiale dans cette région.
L'exposition temporaire "juifs et protestants parcours croisés de 1517 à 2017" est également très intéressante et bienvenue dans ce site.
C'est instructif surtout si l'on veut en savoir plus sur le sujet.
