Memorial Internment Camp Douadic

The camp of Douadic was built as a camp for German prisoners-of-war. But when the Vichy government surrendered on 22 June 1940, the few German prisoners were released.
After that, the camp was used as an internment camp for French and foreign refugees, particularly the Spanish refugees who crossed the French border in the Retirada in 1939.
From 1942 on, it was a transit camp for Jews who were transported to Drancy and Auschwitz.
