Recebedou was an Internment Camp created in February, 1941 to hold Jews and Spanish anti-fascists for deportment to Drancy Concentration Camp and the extermination camps in the east. It quickly became a hospital camp and prisoners were deprived of medicine, food, and other basic necessities.

Originally managed by The City of Toulouse, the camp held Jewish refugees fleeing the occupied zone of France. Shortly thereafter, management fell to the Nazi collaborationist Vichy French regime. Recebedou operated from February 1941 to October of 1942, when the Wehrmacht used the camp for military housing. During that period 349 Jews were deported to Drancy Camp. Of the 314 persons who died in Recebedou Internment Camp, 254 of them were Jews.

In 2003, Elie Wiesel inaugurated the opening of a Memorial Museum located on site of one of the camp's barracks.
