Maison d'Izieu--Mémorial des enfants juifs exterminés

The museum building sits between mountains and the Rhône river, preserving photographs, letters, and personal belongings of Jewish children who found refuge there during World War II.

In 1943, Sabine Zlatin established this children's home as a shelter for Jewish refugees until German forces discovered the location on April 6, 1944.

The memorial museum maintains extensive archives and presents educational programs about the Holocaust, focusing on the experiences of children during wartime persecution.

The memorial receives over 30,000 visitors annually and offers guided tours in multiple languages, with special arrangements available for school groups and researchers.

The Documentation Center contains original drawings and writings from the children who lived in the house, providing direct insights into their daily lives before deportation.
