The camp receives Jewish internees from Central Europe; its regulations, forced labor and corporal punishments are denounced after the war by those who came out of it.

The Berguent camp, on the fringes of eastern Morocco, receives Jewish internees who have come from Central Europe via Spain or France, as well as foreigners considered undesirable. The regulations, forced labor, and punishments inflicted at Berguent will be denounced after the war by those who emerge from it, in testimonies gathered by aid organizations. The camp belongs to the network established for the southern railway construction project, but it also serves as a place of relegation for men whose release no one claims.
