Description

Il campo di Westerbork (Polizeiliches Durchgangslager Westerbork) situato vicino a Hooghalen è diventato noto come campo di transito. Da qui furono deportati 107.000 ebrei e rom e sinti nei campi di concentramento tedeschi. Solo 5.000 di loro sopravvissero alla guerra, la maggior parte a Theresienstadt e Bergen-Belsen o per liberazione nello stesso Westerbork.
Tra le vittime c'erano nomi noti. Etty Hillesum è stata detenuta a Westerbork prima di essere deportata, e Anne Frank e la sua famiglia furono imbarcati su uno dei ultimi treni di trasporto dal campo di Westerbork ad Auschwitz. Anche la ragazza sinti Settela Steinbach fu deportata tramite Westerbork. Il giornalista, per l'Algemeen Handelsblad, Philip Mechanicus fu trasferito a Westerbork il 7 novembre 1942 e il 8 marzo 1944 fu posto in trasporto verso Bergen-Belsen; il 9 ottobre 1944 fu portato con un trasporto punitivo di 120 uomini ad Auschwitz-Birkenau, dove fu fucilato 3 giorni dopo.
