Kamp Westerbork

Today we set out on yesterday's trail and went on until we reached the concentration camp. This camp was built by the dutch in 1939 as a refuge for German refugees. In the war the Nazis took over and it served as a place of assembly for Jews, resistance people, gypsies etc. From this camp the trains departed to several destinations in the East of Europe. 

This is not one of the trains used, but a similar one. In the extras you see:

- Under a glass cover the house of the camp commander
- Little stones, laid out on the place of assembly, each and every little stone representing one person led away
- The first of the signs that line up towards our holiday parc. Only today I realized the pole is actually part of train tracks. We think the train tracks used to run here
- A watch tower
- The remainder of one of many barracks

It was an impressive visit
