The toll is reproduced exactly as the source states it — never rounded, never added to another. Tolls overlap from one event to the next.
The camp serves as punishment for those whom other worksites reject; post-war testimonies describe the tomb, a pit dug in the sand where the recalcitrant are locked up.
Djenien Bou Rezg serves as punishment for those expelled from other worksites. Postwar testimonies describe the tomb there — a pit dug in the sand where recalcitrant prisoners are confined beneath a plank, exposed to the daytime sun and the cold of night. The disciplinary camp at Djenien Bou Rezg receives Jewish internees, Spanish republicans, and men sanctioned for attempting to flee. What was endured there was reported after the liberation by investigative commissions, without any of those responsible ever being held accountable.
