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

- Bouarfa
- Djefa
- Kenadsa
- Meridja

Famous quotes containing the word colonial:
“The North will at least preserve your flesh for you; Northerners are pale for good and all. There’s very little difference between a dead Swede and a young man who’s had a bad night. But the Colonial is full of maggots the day after he gets off the boat.”
—Louis-Ferdinand Céline (1894–1961)
