Il Mémorial National de la Prison de Montluc, situato a Lione nel quartiere di Montplaisir, è un luogo di memoria dedicato alle vittime della Seconda Guerra Mondiale e agli eventi tragici che si svolsero in questo sito durante l’occupazione nazista. La prigione, costruita nel 1921 come struttura penale ordinaria, fu requisita dalle autorità tedesche nel 1943 e trasformata in un centro di detenzione per membri della Resistenza, deportati e prigionieri politici.

Montluc divenne tristemente nota sotto il comando di Klaus Barbie, il "boia di Lione". Migliaia di uomini, donne e bambini furono imprigionati qui prima di essere deportati nei campi di concentramento o giustiziati. Tra i detenuti più noti ci furono Jean Moulin, figura simbolo della Resistenza francese, e molti ebrei arrestati durante le retate.

Il memoriale conserva intatta la struttura della prigione, permettendo ai visitatori di vedere le celle e gli spazi dove i detenuti furono rinchiusi. Le esposizioni includono documenti storici, oggetti personali e testimonianze che raccontano le storie delle persone imprigionate a Montluc. Ogni elemento è pensato per favorire la riflessione e mantenere viva la memoria delle vittime.

Le visite guidate offrono un approfondimento sulla funzione della prigione durante il regime nazista, sul sistema di repressione e sul coraggio di coloro che vi passarono. Le celle, spoglie e anguste, e il cortile interno, dove avvenivano le esecuzioni, trasmettono un’impressione tangibile delle condizioni di detenzione.

Il Mémorial National de la Prison de Montluc è un luogo di grande importanza storica e simbolica, dedicato alla memoria e alla trasmissione di valori di giustizia e libertà. La visita è particolarmente indicata per chi desidera comprendere meglio il ruolo di Lione durante la Seconda Guerra Mondiale e riflettere sui tragici eventi...

Warning: this is not a pleasant place to visit. Though I don't understand French or know much about European history, my heart felt heavy and depressed when looking at the exhibits especially those relevant to Holocaust. It'd beyond my imagination the hardship and suffering people endured here. Salute and 5 stars to those who make the efforts to preserve this piece of sad and dark history so that people can learn from it and avoid repeating the same mistake in whatever...

The only "but" is that nothing is in english but hey, is free so....you can stroll at your own pace around a former military compound turned into a prison, every single cell has a panel with photos and stories about the inmates ,really moving i learnt a lot, not many visitors and has lockers and toilettes,

Encontramos esta dolorosa joya casi por casualidad, camino del Museo Lumière, porque no suele figurar entre las atracciones de Lyon, y son pocos los turistas que la visitan. Pero es imperdible. Gratuita y extremadamente didáctica, esta antigua prisión rinde un solemne homenaje a las personas perseguidas y asesinadas por el nazismo, judíos (en el amplio criterio de las Leyes de Nuremberg), miembros de la Resistencia y opositores políticos. Los muros de sus minúsculas celdas narran, con fotografías que proporcionan caras a los nombres, historias de coraje, de sufrimiento y de horror atroz, como en el caso de los chiquitos de la colonia masacrados. Pero también evocan la cobardía y el odio de los ocupantes, los colaboracionistas, los delatores. Una muestra para recorrer en silencio, y quizás con alguna lágrima en los ojos.
