    Westerbork Transit Camp

    Recent history that must be kept alive,
    so that we can learn from it,
    and never repeat it again.
    Very oppressive, yet, or perhaps precisely because of that, worth seeing!


    The Westerbork Police Jewish Transit Camp was one of the two central transit camps (concentration camp assembly camps) used by the Nazi occupiers in the Netherlands for the deportation of Dutch Jews or German Jews residing in the Netherlands to other concentration and extermination camps.
