• Deportation of Jews from Westerbork Transit Camp to Nazi Extermination Camps On July 24, 1942, the first mass deportations of Jewish prisoners from the Westerbork transit camp in the Netherlands began, marking a tragic chapter in the Holocaust.

These deportations were part of the Nazi regime's 'Final Solution', a calculated plan for the genocide of European Jews during World War II. Thousands of innocent men, women, and children were forcibly removed from Westerbork, facing unimaginable suffering and almost certain death.
