An exceptional site: a place of memory, education, and reflection.
Opened in September 1939 in a tile factory located between Aix-en-Provence and Marseille, the Camp des Milles was in operation for just over three years and saw more than 10,000 internees from 38 countries pass through. Many of them had taken refuge in France to escape totalitarianism and persecution.
More than 2,000 Jewish men, women, and children were deported from the Camp des Milles to Auschwitz. They were among the 10,000 Jews from the southern zone handed over to the Nazis by the Vichy government and then murdered as part of the "Final Solution".
It has the particularity of having welcomed many intellectuals and artists such as Max Ernst and Hans Bellmer. The walls of the old tile factory show many traces of their stay.
