Camp des Milles - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Camp des Milles was a French concentration camp, opened in September 1939, in a former tile factory near the village of Les Milles, part of the commune of Aix-en-Provence (Bouches-du-Rhône). The camp was first used to intern Germans living in the Marseilles Area, and by June 1940, some 3500 artists and intellectuals were detained there. Surrealist artists Hans Bellmer and Max Ernst were imprisoned in the Camp des Milles prison for most of World War II. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Camp_des_Milles   (165 words)

France - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20) France's ultimate victory in World War I and World War II after initially being invaded and partly occupied by German forces did not prevent the loss of the colonial empire, the comparative economic status, population and status as a dominant nation state. The Fourth Republic was established after World War II, to be replaced in 1958 by the current semi-presidential Fifth Republic established under General Charles de Gaulle. In 1958, the Fifth French Republic was established, with a greatly strengthened presidency; in this role, Charles de Gaulle managed to keep the country together while taking steps to end the war. www.antiwebfilter.com /cgi-bin/cgiproxy/nph-proxy.pl/000110A/http/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/France   (4321 words)

The Militant - January 27, 2003 -- How Washington put Japanese-Americans in concentration camps in World War II They were held in the camps until 1940 when the men were drafted into the French army or were permitted to volunteer for foreign legion units to fight Germany. While the camps varied from country to country and within each country in terms of starvation, brutality, and torture, the only ones used as extermination centers were run by the Nazi regime. Tule Lake, one of the Japanese American concentration camps, was even reactivated as a standby camp for political dissidents during the height of the Cold War in the 1950s. www.themilitant.com /2003/6703/670350.html   (2944 words)

International Monitor Institute   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20) The Radio Television Libre des Milles Collines (RTLM) was a privately owned radio station used as a means of inciting and directing Hutu civilians to carry out acts of genocide against the Tutsis. It also served as a warning to those already firmly established in refugee camps: that a camp would not protect refugees from the larger designs of Museveni. They killed 6,000 men and spared 30,000 women and children who crossed and arrived in Tanzania, in Nkoronko camp."

Operation Assurance: The Greatest Intervention That Never Happened   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20) Hutus settled in hellish camps around Goma and Bukavu to join the swelling numbers of Burundian Hutus that had been fleeing to the camps around Uvira in south Kivu since the assassination of President Melchior Ndadaye in October 1993. As if to emphasise the untenable environment in the camps around Goma the UNHCR led a total evacuation of relief workers from the area leaving the refugees, the majority unarmed and defenceless, in the midst of a battle in which they were the target of both sides. It is symptomatic of the international community's commitment to the totem of state sovereignty that the UNHCR felt it appropriate to hire guards for the refugee camps from the discredited FAZ. www.jha.ac /articles/a036.htm   (7364 words)

Hans Bellmer (1902-1975) Juxtaposing Bellmer's bondage photographs of his companion Unica Zurn with Woodman's pictures of her own body bound with ribbon, Suleiman reads the latter as an ironic commentary on the fetishism so endemic in surrealism as practiced by men. In the south of France during the summer of 1939, Hans Bellmer is interned in the "camp des Milles", in the company of Ferdinand Springer. And the women [Hans Bellmer] attracted were remarkable: twice married (once widowed, once divorced), he also formed relationships with Joyce Reeves, an English author of children's books and secretary to Roland Penrose; the Romanian dancer Lizica Codreano; the Bulgarian writer Nora Mitrani; and the German surrealist Unica Zurn. www.jahsonic.com /HansBellmer.html   (1680 words)
