French Internment Camps 1939-1944


Following on from the piece below to visit a site that has quite a comprehensive list and some limited documentation about the camps in France where Spanish, Polish, French Communists, Jews and others were held, click on the above title. It was put together by a French stamp collecting group, and some of the most poignant and disturbing items are the censored and opened mail being sent by those in the camps to the ouside world.
The picture on the left is a memorial stone from Septfonds. The picture below by the earlier piece is also from the site of that camp and is of a restored shrine that was built by Polish internees.
