FRANCE-RIGHTS-DEPORTATION-WWII
French "Defenseur de Droits" (Defender of Rights) Jacques Toubon (C) visits with the Chairman of "Le Camp des Milles" foundation, Alain Chouraqui (R), 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.
