FRANCE-RIGHTS-DEPORTATION-WWII
French "Defenseur de Droits" (Defender of Rights) Jacques Toubon (C) visits Les Milles internment camp memorial ("Memorial du camp des Milles") on October 23, 2014 in Aix-en-Provence, Southern France. The Camp des Milles was initially used to intern Germans and ex-Austrians living in the Marseille area and became by 1940 a "camp for undesirable people" when some 3,500 artists and intellectuals were detained there. In 1942 the camp became a transit and deportation camp. Some 10,000 people transited there, among whom 2,500 Jewish men, women and children deported to Auschwitz concentration camp.
