Beaune-la-Rolande (French pronunciation: [bonlaʁɔlɑ̃d]) is a commune in the Loiret department in north-central France.
History
On 28 November 1870 it was the site of a battle during the Franco-Prussian War, in which French impressionist painter Frédéric Bazille was killed.
During World War II, it was the site of the Nazi Beaune-la-Rolande internment camp, a transit and deportation center for Jews closely associated with the Pithiviers internment camp. Eighteen thousand Jews were held at Beaune-la-Rolande; most of them were transported to Auschwitz where they were murdered.
The Polish artist Zber was imprisoned there from 1941 to 1942, and the composer Ralph Erwin died there.
