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
- Bogari
- Bouarfa
- Djefa
- Kenadsa
- Meridja
- Missour, Morocco
- Tendrara

Famous quotes containing the word colonial:
“In colonial America, the father was the primary parent. . . . Over the past two hundred years, each generation of fathers has had less authority than the last. . . . Masculinity ceased to be defined in terms of domestic involvement, skills at fathering and husbanding, but began to be defined in terms of making money. Men had to leave home to work. They stopped doing all the things they used to do.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)
