…Morning light through the forest, Westerbork Camp, Assen…..
Westerbork was used as a transit camp by the Nazis during the occupation of the Netherlands. Over 100,000 Jews and 245 Sinti and Roma were sent from Westerbork Camp to the death camps in Auschwitz and Sobibor. Only 5,000 returned after the war.

Inside the Hollandsche Schouwburg, a former theater that was used during the Nazi occupation of The Netherlands as a center where the Jewish population was forced to report to before being deported to transit camps in Westerbork and Vught. They, then were brought to extermination camps in the east.
After the liberation, eventually the theater’s roof was torn down and it was turned into a monument and war memorial.
