Herzogenbusch concentration camp

Vught, Netherlands

Herzogenbusch ([ˌhɛʁtsoːɡn̩ˈbʊʃ], Kamp Vught [kɑmp ˈvʏxt]) was a Nazi concentration camp located in Vught near the city of 's-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands. The camp was opened in 1943 and held 31,000 prisoners. 749 prisoners died in the camp, and the others were transferred to other camps shortly before Herzogenbusch was liberated by the Allied Forces in 1944. After the war, the camp was used as a prison for Germans and for Dutch collaborators. Today there is a visitors' center which includes exhibitions and a memorial remembering the camp and its victims.
