Zusammenfassung:It was in the decisive period between 1941 and 1942 that the ‘undesirables' confined in the French camps became designated as victims to be handed over to the occupying forces. This was particularly so in the case of children whose confinement and persecution (suffering from prolonged separation, hunger, cold, unhygienic conditions) attested to the crime of genocide. In her portrayal of a camp, Anne Boitel reveals to us how this specific population was an essential target of the murderous machine that was the Reich, with support from the French State. The author has included a photographie component which provides an insight into a daily existence characterised by misery, destitution and neglect, despite the enormous concerted and focused efforts by militants involved in humanitarian work.
