Deportation camps
Camp de Compiègne - Royallieu Matricule 36307
On arrival, the deportees were channeled undressed, shaved, given anti-vermin treatment with striped clothing, clogs or sock, given food, water and a moldy potato, a piece of bread from time to time.
The rooms for 30 had 300 people sometimes sleeping on the floor on straw mattresses, everyone was united among themselves, unmanageable toilet, getting up at three in the morning in the cold, heat, storms, rain, roll call in the courtyard whatever the weather conditions.
The worst moment was the return from work where, exhausted, there were several roll calls, sometimes 3 roll calls, always with different weather conditions.
Guillaume will go to the Stalag Front.
This camp served as a German transit camp from June 1944 to August 1945. Thus Guillaume is transferred to this first work camp before his real deportation.
It is from this French camp that the first convoy left for Auschwitz. This camp was the only one to depend on the SD-Sipo in Germany. Some stayed there longer than others and died there, others will take a cattle train and will know death or the hell of work.
Thus Guillaume, incarcerated by the Sicherheisdienst of Marseille on June 4, 1944, captive of the Germans, he is sent to the Neuengamme work camp.

Liberation of the concentration camps
When the camps were liberated, Russians and Americans were horrified by their discoveries: starving people, skeletons, mass graves, diseases, crematoriums, gas chambers or showers, but also documents burned so as not to know the atrocities committed, or other Nazi information.
Investigations will take place thanks to survivors, trials, the camps themselves will be razed, will become places of commemoration, museums, or archives.
All these people, at the risk of their lives, sacrificed themselves to allow the liberation of their country, but also the landing.
