At Montreuil-Bellay, President François Hollande acknowledged France’s responsibility for the internment of people classified as nomads during and after the war. The category included Roma, Sinti and other Travellers and should not be equated with one ethnicity. The acknowledgement followed decades of survivor testimony and campaigning over French administrative and police responsibility.
