history
In Germany, Beaune-la-Rolande became known in the late 19th century for the bloody battle in the war of 1870/1871 that took place near the village. The French impressionist painter Frédéric Bazille died here on November 18 or 20, 1870 when he first came into contact with the enemy during the retreat .
At the beginning of the Second World War (1939/40) there was a camp for prisoners of war in Beaune-la-Rolande; it was dissolved after the surrender-like armistice of Compiègne (June 1940). In 1941 it became a concentration camp for Jews. In the summer of 1942 it became a transit camp ( camp de transit ) from which Jews were deported to the Auschwitz extermination camp (see also the chronology of the collaboration between the Vichy government during the Holocaust ).
