The Centre d'histoire de la résistance et de la déportation (English: Center for the History of the Resistance and Deportation) is a museum in Lyon, France. Located on the former site of a French military health school (École de Santé Militaire) and opened in 1992, it chronicles the French Resistance as well as Jewish deportation in World War II.[1]

The school was occupied by the Germans in the spring of 1943,[2] and used by Lyon's Gestapo chief, Klaus Barbie, to torture resistance members, including Jean Moulin.[1] It was destroyed by allied aircraft on May 26, 1944.[2] The museum itself was inaugurated on October 15, 1992.[2]
