Archival History

Archives départementales des Alpes-de-Haute-Provence

Acquisition

The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Archives received the collection from the Departmental Archives of the Alpes de Haute Provence, via the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum's International Archives Project in October, 2006.

Scope and Content

This collection contains material pertaining to Jews residing in the Alpes de Haute-Provence, and to the administrative procedures for arresting and holding Jews in internment camps there. The prewar Department of the Basses-Alpes had no Jewish population, but became a refuge for Jews fleeing the Occupied Zone in the North for the Italian-occupied (before November 1942) portion of the South. The citadel of Sisteron became an internment camp, and Jews were kept under house arrest in several communes (rural districts).
