French President Emmanuel Macron says it’s time to “open our eyes” to resurgent anti-Semitism and xenophobia during a visit to a deportation camp in the south of France, where the authorities rounded up Jews before and during World War II.
Some 10,000 people of 38 nationalities were interned at the Camp des Milles on the outskirts of Aix-en-Provence, and more than 2,000 were deported to Auschwitz, according to camp historians.
