Vichy French Detention Centers were existing camps that were indiscriminately filled with German anti-Nazis (Communists, German Jews, etc) in 1939. Following the 1940 defeat,
and the 10 July 1940 vote of full powers installing the Vichy regime, these camps were filled with Jews, first with foreign Jews, then indifferently with foreign and French Jews. The Vichy government would progressively hand them up to the Gestapo,
and they would all transit via the Drancy internment camp, which was the last stop before concentration camps in the Third Reich and in Eastern Europe and the extermination camps. (Image1)
