The remote mountain village of Izieu overlooks the Rhone river between Lyon and Chambery in central France. In 1943, a children’s home was opened in Izieu as a refuge for Jewish children threatened with arrest and deportation during the German occupation of France. It was established in an empty farm house by a former Red Cross nurse, Sabina Zlatin, who co-directed the home with her husband Miron.

The original group of children that lived in the Izieu home were transferred from the Palavas-les-Flots OSE center and the Campestre à Lodève home (both in the Hérault), which had recently been closed. Although the Izieu home was independently operated, the Zlatins received a stipend for each child from the Œuvre de Secours aux Enfants (Society for Assistance to Children - OSE).

The Jewish children, aged between five and seventeen, felt safe and secure, supervised by seven adults.
