The Camp de Rivesaltes is military camp in France (also called camp Joffre) located on the territory of the commune of Rivesaltes in Southern France. The camp was also used for interning several civil populations from 1939 – 2007. The darkest period of the camp was 1942 when more then 2000 juifs of the Rivesaltes Camp were transferred (via Drancy internment camp) to Auschwitz (Auschwitz concentration camp) for final extermination.
