Kamp Westerbork Judendurchgangslager

We were staying at nearby Hof Van Saksen and decided to visit this place based on other reviews. We arrived to a discrete building situated in a wood just off the road. A lady on the desk explained how the museum was set out and the best way to go around the exhibitions. We were provided with an English translation of all the exhibitions. There were a variety of videos, pictures and examples of what went on in the camp. A model of one of the barracks showing 3 tier bunk beds and how many were in it. Videos from the war showing the Jewish people arriving and leaving. Letters from various people. It all made very interesting reading. The next 'exhibition' was telling about how the children were separated from the parents and the letters they wrote were arranged in chronological order.
