Camp Oddo in Marseille 1925

In November 1922 the first Armenian refugees who had survived the genocide, arrived in Marseille. They were accommodated at the Oddo camp which consisted of the barracks of a former military camp from the First World War. The camp filled quickly with a growing number of refugees in the following years and only closed in 1927.
