Montluc prison is a former prison located on rue Jeanne Hachette in the 3rd arrondissement of Lyon, France. ==History== Built in 1921 for use as a military prison, after the invasion of the unoccupied zone of Vichy France in November 1942, the Gestapo used it as a prison, interrogation centre and internment camp for those waiting for transfer to concentration camps. It is estimated that over 15,000 people were imprisoned in Montluc, and over 900 of them were executed within it. August 1944, prisoners from Montluc prison are transferred at the Lyon–Bron Airport.109 of them, including 72 Jews, were massacred by the Nazis in what would become the infamous "Le Charnier de Bron".〔http://www.leprogres.fr/rhone/2014/09/02/bron-le-panneau-en-memoire-des-charniers-de-l-aeroport-devoile〕 Montluc was liberated on 24 August 1944 by FFI troops, when resistance leader Colonel Köenig, profiting from the chaos reigning in Lyon at the time, entered the prison in a stolen German Army car disguised as a Gestapo officer and persuaded the Commandant to free the prisoners, saying that the order had come from the Gestapo Commander in Lyon, Klaus Barbie.〔 In 1947, Montluc became a civil prison once again, finally closing in 1997, though the female maison d'arrêt was not closed until May 2009. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Montluc prison」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
