all our papers and money and
valuables were taken away. It
was lucky that most of US had
hidden some money that the au-
thorities did not find, because
we needed it later to buy food.
The food at lie Vigeant was
very bad. There was not water
at the camp. They did bring in
some water for cooking in motor

the authorities forbade US to
drink it.

played cards, talked. Some OF the
men worked In the kitchens. In
spit Of the physical discomforts,
our spirits were high. France
was still fighting-successfully

ST. CYPRIEN HUTS HAD
SIEVE-LIKE WALLS
At the end Of two weeks at
lie Viseant, the German advance
again caused US to be moved,
this time to st. Cyprien on the
Mediterranean. st. Cyprie n,
built for tens of thousands Of
Loyalist refugees who fled to
France after the Spanish civil
war, consists of endless rows OF
wooden huts built right on the
beach. It Is surrounded by four
concentric rows Of barbed wire.
st. Cyprien had been empty
for several months when we ar
rived-about $500 of US from LIE
Viseant and twice that many
from other camps in the active
zone. Rain and sand, whipped by
the powerful gusts of the Medi-
terranean Seas mistral. poured
through the walls as through
netting. The floors of our shacks
were sand, BUTT was often more
comfortable for sleeping than
straw.
With all its discomforts, st.
Cyprien was an improvement
over lie Vigeant. We had water
"a hand pump for every four
shacks. The food was better and
a bit more plentiful-only three
people to split one bread each
day. At night we sometimes had
Argentine frozen meat, peaches
and tomatoes and sometimes q
quart of wine.

were thrust into a concentration
camp by the Belgians within IL
hours after the Germans started
their invasion of the Low Coun-

Then, so swift was the German
advance, we found ourselves,
only two days later, herded with

Behind us we had had to leave

turned out to be lie Vigeant, a
concentration camp at Poitiers.
There, into barracks built for 200
men, over 800 of us were packed:

The Nazis and the Jews were in
separate barracks-and we kept

half hour while he edged his
truck in and out of the city's
