Mémorial Hélène et Victor Basch, Wartime resistance memorial in Neyron, France.

The memorial stands at Combe de Crépieux, beneath the viaduct named after the couple, marking the location where they were executed in 1944.

Victor Basch, president of the Human Rights League and professor at Sorbonne, was arrested with his wife Hélène by the Lyon militia on January 10, 1944.

The memorial inscription commemorates their dedication to human rights and social justice during the Dreyfus affair and their fight against anti-Semitism.

The memorial is located at 11 Chemin de Barry in Neyron and forms part of the Memory Trail created in 1967 to honor resistance fighters.

The memorial was relocated from its initial position during the construction of the viaduct while maintaining its historical significance.
