Provenance: Ernest Weiner, a survivor of the Westerbork camp.
The police transit camp for the Jews of Westerbork (Polizeiliches Judendurchgangslager Westerbork) was one of two transit camps set up by the Nazis in the Netherlands (the other was Vught, in the south of the Netherlands) for the deportation of Dutch Jews to the concentration and extermination camps in the east. The camp is located next to the tiny village of Westerbork in the Drenthe region, close to the German-Dutch border in its northern part. The camp was established in February 1939, and was liberated on April 12, 1945 by Canadian soldiers. About 102,000 Jews were sent from the camp to be exterminated in Auschwitz and Sobibor.
