Background
The Beaune-la-Rolande internment camp was a transit and detention facility operated by French and German authorities in Nazi-occupied France during the Second World War. Built in 1939 in the Beaune-la-Rolande commune, Loiret, to house German prisoners of war, it was repurposed after France's defeat in 1940 to detain French POWs. From 1941, it was used to intern foreign-born Jews living in the Paris region. In May 1942, following the establishment of direct German control, mass deportations to extermination camps, primarily Auschwitz, began. Among the victims were more than 1,500 children arrested during the Vel' d'Hiv Roundup and deported via Beaune-la-Rolande to Auschwitz, where most were murdered.
