On August 18, 1945, a commemorative ceremony took place in the presence of political figures and representatives of the Resistance, and Mayor Marius LEDOUX announced his intention to build a monument in memory of the 109 victims of German barbarism. The mayor of Lyon Édouard HERRIOT offered his help for the construction and a committee was set up to bring the project to fruition.
The location chosen, Fort Bron has the advantage of being located near the site of the massacre.
Monument inaugurated on November 11, 1946.
