Camp Westerbork

When we went to the radio telescope at Westhalen we suddenly arived at the entrance of transit camp Westerbork. The partly barbed wire fence had a big impact on me. In the surrounding it was very quiet.

Westerbork was the main site to transfer Dutch Jews to Auschwitz For us the time wasn’t right to visit this historical place today but we will definately return.

There is loads of information about camp westerbork available.
