Colonial Administration
Although not architecturally conceived as an internment camp, the Vel' d'Hiv (Winter Velodrome) was used during the July 1942 Roundup. Most internment camps, however, were not conceived as such. The Vel d'Hiv was also used during the Algerian War (see below).
In the colonial empire, Vichy created in Algeria and in Morocco labour camps ("camps de travail") for Jews in:
- Abadla, Algeria
- Ain el Ourak
- Bechar, Algeria
- Berguent

- Bouarfa
- Djefa
- Kenadsa

Famous quotes containing the word colonial:
“Are you there, Africa with the bulging chest and oblong thigh? Sulking Africa, wrought of iron, in the fire, Africa of the millions of royal slaves, deported Africa, drifting continent, are you there? Slowly you vanish, you withdraw into the past, into the tales of castaways, colonial museums, the works of scholars.”
—Jean Genet (1910–1986)
