Twilhaar Labour Camp

Description

Twilhaar Labour Camp was a World War II labour camp in the east of the Netherlands. The area is now part of the Sallandse Heuvelrug National Park in the province of Overijssel.

The camp was originally built in 1940. However, it was not the German occupiers who built it, but the Dutch Rijksdienst voor de Werkverruiming. This was an authority that existed between 1939 and 1945 and was tasked with reducing unemployment in the Netherlands by creating job opportunities. In the first two years, therefore, unemployed fishermen and seafarers from the vicinity of Katwijk and Scheveningen were accommodated in Twilhaar.
