BACKGROUND: INTERNMENT CAMPS AND THEIR MEMORY IN FRANCE

For students from 3rd to 12th grade

Between 1938 and 1946, there were probably more than 200 camps in France and 600,000 internees: Spanish republicans, communists, Jews, Gypsies, "undesirable foreigners"... This itinerary presents the complex history of these camps, from their opening to the post-war period, and the slow construction of a memory of places that are always particular. The history of the camps of Pithiviers, Beaune-la-Rolande, Jargeau and Drancy is highlighted in a journey through history and memory.
