Amp Westerbork in 1938 became a refugee camp voor Jewish people who had come over the border (without visa or transit vise) into Holland. In 1940 when the Germans occupied the Netherlands they closed the other two remaining refugee camps, Hoek of Holland and Reuven. The people were moved to Camp Westerbork. In 1942 shortly after the February strike of workers in Amsterdam the Germans decided to make Camp Westerbork a transit camp for Jewish people in general. From there the people were deported to the Contrarion Camps.

This foto shows to which Concentration Camps the trains of the weekly deportation from Wetserbork would go to.
A page form the memorial book at Camp Westerbork that list all the names of the people that were transported to the concentration camps and perished.
