The North African Refugee Centre was a displaced persons’ camp established by the British and American governments in mid-1944 as a result of the Bermuda Conference. The centre was founded in the former American military barracks at Camp Maréchal Lyautey, just outside of Casablanca in Morocco. Although initially administered by the American Office for Foreign Relief and Rehabilitation Operations (OFFRO) and the Federal Economic Administration (FEA) the NARC was later taken over by the newly established United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA). Despite being able to hold up to two thousand refugees from Nazism, during its existence the camp housed just 634, all of whom had previously sought shelter in Spain. Following the liberation of France and just a few months of operating, the camp closed on 15 November 1944.
