Site Memorial du Camp des Milles
Get a glimpse of World War II history by visiting Site Memorial du Camp des Milles. Today one of UNESCO's headquarters, it was once an internment camp for German and Austrian men, and later the place of transit for Jewish men. See the works of artists interned there, visit the preserved areas where they lived, and learn about genocide. You can walk the path people took on their way to deportation to concentration camps, see a gallery with paintings, and view a wagon that shows where the deportation took place.

I was surprised that Italy detained those of Germanic origin, held Jews seeking escape to other countries and finally transporting a significant number of Jews of all ages to German concentration camps.
