This is a witness from a nonsensical and inglorious past! The former SS concentration camp Vught, near 's - Hertogenbosch (Herzogenbusch), also called Den Bosch, from World War II. It was one of three active concentration camps in the Netherlands.

Construction of the camp began in 1942. The construction costs of around 15 million guilders were mainly raised through confiscated Jewish assets.
The concentration camp was 1 km long and 350 meters wide.
On January 5, 1943, the camp became its inglorious destination
to hand over.
31,000 people were held here, including
12,000 Jews.
But also a Roma minority, political prisoners, Jehovah's Witnesses as well as resistance fighters and homosexuals.
On June 7, 1943, it became known that all Jewish children would have to leave the camp and be taken to a special children's camp and thus possibly separated from father and mother.
At least 750 men, women and children are known to have met a painful death here.

Today you can visit the site and the buildings for an entrance fee, as well as an information center that reports on this bad time with corresponding films and other documentaries ...

An impressive place where during the war years, among other things, an airplane scrapping site was created by the Germans.

Take a moment to consider a piece of history and consider how these people gave their lives for freedom.
