Westerbork camp

The Westerbork camp was located

in the Dutch countryside

in the northeastern part of the Netherlands.

It was in the Dutch province of Drenthe,

near the towns of Westerbork and Assen.

This location was noteworthy

because it was near the German-Dutch border

and far from the major cities of Amsterdam,

Rotterdam, and The Hague.

Westerbork as Refugee Camp Administered

by the Dutch, 1939–1942

The Dutch government established a camp

at Westerbork

(Centraal Vluchtelingenkamp Westerbork)

in 1939 to intern Jewish refugees,

mostly from Germany.

The first refugees arrived in Westerbork

in October of that year.

In April 1940,

there were approximately 750 Jewish refugees

housed in the camp.

Some of them were German Jews

who had been passengers on the St. Louis ship.

In May 1940,

Nazi Germany invaded and occupied

the Netherlands.

In the first two years after the invasion,

Westerbork continued to function

as a refugee camp.

From May 1940 to July 1942,

the camp remained under Dutch administration.

Under the Dutch, conditions were fairly good.

https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/westerbork

 Westerbork was the last staging post

for nearly 107,000 Dutch Jews

before they were put on trains to Auschwitz,

Bergen-Belsen and other Nazi camps

in central and eastern Europe.

Only 5,000 returned.
