Cell 115 Camp Vught Tragedy

Short history of the concentration camp in Vught
Camp Vught holds a special Place in Dutch history of the Second World War. It was the only official SS-concentration camp in occupied North-West Europe. Construction of a large concentration camp in the woods at Vught started in May 1942. The first prisoners arrived at the camp before it was finished at the end of 1942. These prisoners came from the camp in Amersfoort, which the Nazis wanted to give up. The famished and abused prisoners arrived at the railway station in Vught and were marched off along the streets.
