The children of Izieu: In 1944 the Nazis from Lyon sent three vehicles to the tiny French village to exterminate the children of the orphanage known as La Maison d'Izieu. Here 44 Jewish children in age from 3 to 18 were hidden away from the Nazi terror that surrounded them. On the morning of April 6, 1944, the Nazis led by Klaus Barbie, raided the Home, throwing the crying and terrified children on to the trucks like sacks of potatoes. The children were then sent to Auschwitz.
