France closes the last wartime internment camp for Travellers

๐Ÿ“… 1 Juni 1946 ๐Ÿ“ Frankrijk

The Alliers camp closed, ending wartime internment of Travellers in France only after liberation. The long delay makes visible the continuity between wartime restrictions and postwar state practice. Franceโ€™s internment of Roma and Travellers was distinct from the Nazi extermination program, but it formed part of their persecution and dispossession and was later acknowledged as a state responsibility.
